how-to using WMIC to install an application with source files in network share?

if u have the path of the installer package in the remote machine u can use almost any script to perform the installation.
for instance:

powershell:

(Get-WMIObject -ComputerName <remote_machine> -List | Where-Object -FilterScript {$_.Name -eq "Win32_Product"}).Install(\\AppSrv\dsp\NewPackage.msi)

Select allOpen in new window

vbs:

Set objService = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set objSoftware = objService.Get("Win32_Product")
objSoftware.Install("<windows_package.msi>,"SMSSITECODE=ABA DISABLESITEOPT=True DISABLECACHEOPT=True" , ALL_USERS)

you need to copy the installer package to the remote machine first then execute psexec, check this example: http://forum.sysinternals.com/psexec-and-remote-install_topic8575.html

i am able to install the software package (eg msi or exe) if it is on the remote machine. However, if the installer is on a network share, i am not able to do so.

is there anyway i can run a command on a remote machine and tell it to go to a network share (with UNC path \\<remote server>\blah\blah\blah.xxx) and execute the installer their?

thanks.

you got to copy the installer to the server first and then run the installer as u do now,  that would the trick

can i run the installer from a UNC location?

e.g, i am at client A and want to install a software to client B remotely and the software installer is in server C.

thanks.
