There are LOTS of desktop management and software deployment schemes out there... NetInstall, WinInstall, Altiris, ZenWorks, MS SMS, LANDesk, etc, etc.

If you're looking for cheap remote control, check out something like VNC and share your CD-ROM drive, or put an MSI on a server...

To add on to dpetrak, you can put the msi on a server or create a new share on a pc and make sure you give appropriate access, then place a start menu shortcut on the local computer to run a script to install the software package when the user starts up the machine. Of course if the machines are associated with a domain and have domain user accounts then you have the option for login scripts or domain policies.
