Answer 1

To install an MSI, or anything else of that nature remotely, something needs to run on the remote box. If you're talking a service hosted in IIS, MSDEPLOY might work. If its something outisde of that scope, using psexec from sysinternals might work. If its part of a build process, Team Deploy layers on top of psexec. If you have System Center or similar system management infrastructure, you can push it out via that channel.

Bottom line is you havent given enough details as to how many things you want to install, on how many boxes and how often, for people to be able to give you a more precise answer than this.
