Remote Installs

[MatDavies]

I have used applications that allow you to perform remote installs on PC's in your network, such as virus killing apps.

I woul dlike to build one of these 'Control centres' for one of my apps so that I can make it easier for clients to deploy across their companies and also to make the process of updating a lot easier.

How do you go about performing remote installs?

right, I have been looking around and it appears that I can do this using WMI.

I have sucessfully created a new process on a remote machine, however it is hidden and doesn't show my form(it was just a quick one form "it works" exe). any ideas why?

I also did a test that would just show a message box on running (single module exe, sub main thing)

that also appeared to do nothing, but the process is in the list. any help would be appreciated.
