Performing remote installations

[ThunderBird]

Hi,

I want to create a network install, which I can install remotely over
multiple machines by specifying the \\machinename.... as a command
line to the setup i.e whatever machine name is passed to the setup the
product should be installed on that pacticular machine. There are no
shared folders or a mapped drive. The installations needs to be
carried out using the admin share.

How can I achive this using InstallShield or is there any other way to
do this.

Thanks in advance

Have you considered Remote Installation Services (RIS), which comes with
Windows Server 2003?
