In most cases, when you "install" something, you run a special program (installer) which will:
- Copy different files to different locations on a hard drive
- Write some values to the registry
If the installation needs to happen on this remote computer, then, typically, you'll need to have the remote CPU run this code. (That would be the "installing" part)
In order to run any code on a system, the code first needs to be placed in a location where the local OS can access it through standard file operations. (Moving the file to a locally accessible place is sometimes referred to as "Downloading")
So, if you have the installation software available on a file share, then you can have the remote computer access this share and execute the installation software without copying it to the local HD.
But if the software is only available through, say, http, then you'll need to first download it. However, most browsers give you this nice option: Save file, or run directly. (Note, however, the "run directly" option will still download the file first, to a temporary location, before it can run it.)
If we're talking terminal server etc, then everything is different. In that case, the software is run on the server and the client is just using a network connection for interaction.)
The biggest problem with your question is that you don't tell us enough about your situation. What server? What client? What kind of network? (domain/internet/?)
Or are you looking for ways to install malware on visitors to your website? Then you're on the wrong site. TR forum won't help you with that.

Since GoDaddy deals with domain names, I believe that "GoDaddy server" should be understood as "web server".
Almost all web browsers will double-check with the user before they run locally a program that has been obtained from the internet. It's about security.
In addition, most Vista and Win7 systems will ask the user to confirm before running installation programs, especially if the installation file doesn't have any embedded certificate from a well known software house.
So, your best bet would be to include information on your site about the possible hurdles a user may need to pass through when they want to install your software.
But, what stops you from putting the html manual directly accessible on your server, so that a user simply can browse it?
And then you can provide a zip file with all pages of the manual in case a user wants to access a local copy.
You mention that this is a manual for your software. Now, the user will anyway install your software, why don't you include the manual directly in the software intallation package? (You could even offer two different downloads: One with just the software, another with software and documentation...)
