msi remote install script

Well, under the gun as usual. I need to deploy a custom Snare.msi to over 1000 servers. I attempted to utilize McAfee's Herules (utilized for patch deployment and remediation) but kept getting fail errors. Of course our Gold Support contract yeilded NOTHING.
I utilized a PowerScript script but ran into issues with using it on the first batch of 200 servers - the receiving server must have PS installed. Well since i know they all have VB command line interpreter - i would like a VB script to remotely deploy the Snare msi, initialize the service, and then remove the msi, without re-booting the server.
Any help?
