Hi Dave, Yeap, you are correct. I tried to use PowerShell and VB scripts for this but couldn't succeed. Firewalls in the remote pcs' blocks the WMI services by default. Then I used PSExec in PsTools. It did the job for me. Now I can install msi packages remotely without any problem.Thanks anyway..... P.S: If anybody has a similar problem regarding remote installations check the following link. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/utilities/psexec.mspx Cheers, :laugh: Era
