Do Psexec queries install files on remote computers

I use a lot Pstools (Psexec, Psinfo) to query the remote computers, Such as to find out the size of the Disks, what software is installed on the remote computers,etc..... I do not use it to install any Software in remote computers, since it is not allowed in our environment unless if it approved.

However , I still would like to know if Psexec and/or Psinfo, install any files on the remote computers in order to the remote computer to reply  to the query that has been sent ?

Thank you

That restriction is the same if you use e.g. DameWare Remote Support, which is very similar to Hyena.
