No, you couldn't do that for the file that clients need to download would be generated automatically by the server software each time a new client joins. And the software that clients need would be available for everyone on a trusted website with a MD5 signature.

Edit: Also the file clients must download doesn't neccessarily have to contain executable code. I do admit that there are some things that I haven't given much thought, but this suggestion of mine is still on a drawing board. Thanks for pointing them out.
