Smart Client and unmanaged Dll's Part I

I love the smart Client ability in .Net where I can deploy full scale managed applications over the web.  But in some of my more recent .Net applications I have found the need to integrate with legacy unmanaged code, in most cases this unmanaged Dll's are Excel Addins that I want to reuse in my managed world.  But try as I might I am unable to find any reference on the web to how I might avoid the need to install the unmanaged dll's thru a installation application before I make my app available, and I do not want to tell my users, 'By the way before you can use this you need to install this stuff'

So does anyone have any ideas or thoughts, or even code that would allow me to get the same benefit with unmanaged code, as I do with managed code, i.e. the ability to build smart clients that require no additional step for deployment of the unmanaged code?

Thanks
