One of the ways you can deploy forms apps is to use a web site as a
deployment mechanism for DLLs, etc.
There's a couple of ways to do this:
1) Place the main executable on a web site. Users have to go there to get
it. They can open it from there or download it and open it from their
workstation.
a. The main executable has just enough code in it to know how to
download the other assemblies via HTTP.
2) Place all other assemblies and configs on a web site (or virtual
directory). This serves as the place where your code base lives. You
always update here and not on the clients.
You're much better off looking on Microsoft's site for it. I think it's
also called "No touch deployment".
It talks all about how to do it and the pros and cons.

Hi Nicholas,
sorry to bother you, what is 'Click once'?
I've not got the budget to buy in third party so need freeware or to
code it from scratch...
I'm having some luck with WMI...
1. copy msi.
2. use remote WMI win32_Process to run the msiexec.
But I can't see how to get the arguments applied??? If I attatch them
to the end it doesn't like it but there doesn't seem to be any obvious
way to apply them or set the working directory.
Any Ideas....
Thanks, Rob.
