Sorry, I don't follow.  If asking your users to temporarily add
something to their initialization files is an option, why not:

(setenv "EMACS_EXE_PATH"
        (file-truename (concat (file-name-as-directory
                                 invocation-directory)
                                 invocation-name)))
