Update Power BI from within the application

It would be great if the Power BI team build in the capability to update the Power BI desktop application from within the application.  I am working with an organization where its users are not admins on their machines and they require going to their help desk every time a new release is pushed out to download and run the installer for the new application.  If updates could be installed from within the application, that would alleviate this problem for my client.
