Remote MSI Installation

By | December 13, 2022

WinRS can be used when installing software on remote systems. If you want to quietly install an application using an MSI file onto a remote machine, use the following syntax. This syntax assumes the MSI file has already been deposited into the C:\ folder.

winrs -r:machinename msiexec.exe /i c:\install.msi /quiet

When specifying the remote machine, the following are valid:

  • ยท Localhost
  • NetBIOS name
  • Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN)
  • IP address
