I work for a large company and we are thinking about buying VNC Manager.

We are 1 feature away from getting a license.

Silent and transparent remote software installation.

Is such a thing possible ?

Hi,
the answer to this question is no and yes at the same time.

No - because there are no dedicated Remote Software Deployment feature.

Yes - because it's actually possible to install software remotely using "Execute Remote Command" feature. Remote Exec allows to upload a file to a remote computer and then execute it. That's exactly whay you can do, using Remote Exec upload setup package to a remote computer and then silently execute it.

The screen shoot below shows sample setup for such tool.
