You can use WMI's
Win32_Processclass, and .NET's System.Management classes, to launch a remote process, with one pitfall. The installer process will run, but no user interface will be possible. So, your .MSI installation has to be configured and launched without expecting any user input at all. Any windows your installer puts up will be launched, but the user will never see them or know they are there.A guide to posting questions on CodeProject[^]
