EMCO Remote Installer

EMCO Remote Installer is an easy-to-use network application designed for centralized software management and audit across a LAN. It offers a simple and effective approach to remote software distribution and can be used instead of SCCM and other complicated deployment tools.



The program allows you to audit software installed on remote PCs across your network and deploy software automatically on remote PCs. EMCO Remote Installer for PC deploys software in parallel on remote PCs, so you can deploy within a few minutes across the entire network. The deployment operation is completely automatic and doesn't require user interaction.

To deploy software remotely you need to select an installation file and specify the deployment option. You can deploy software to the selected set of PCs or define conditions to select PCs dynamically. The program allows us to run a deployment operation manually or schedule it for automatic deployment on schedule.



This remote deployment solution allows you to perform unattended software installation and uninstallation on remote Windows PCs quickly and easily. You can use it to install and uninstall EXE setups and MSI/MSP packages remotely on selected Windows PCs connected to a local network. Also, you can retrieve data on installed software from remote PCs, get aggregated software inventory reports, and keep track of software changes.

All-in-One Software Deployment Solution

EMCO Remote Installer Free is an integrated solution that covers different aspects of Windows software management. The application is capable of operating in enterprise environments and managing software across multiple domains and workgroups.

You can use it for unattended remote installation/uninstallation of EXE setups and MSI/MSP packages and for an audit of installed applications across a network - all these features are available from the application's centralized administrative console.



The program allows you to distribute any software across a network within a few minutes. The deployment software configuration requires only to select the software to be installed and specify silent deployment options if the software doesn't support a silent deployment by default. You customize deployment by adding pre and post-install actions if required.

The deployment targets can be selected manually or automatically by a query. After deployment, you can see the detailed log reported by every PC to make sure that deployment was successful.

Compare Features

FREE EDITION
The Free Edition is a freeware tool with basic deployment features. It allows you to audit software installed across the entire network. You can install/uninstall software remotely on up to 5 remote hosts at a time. The deployment targets can be selected statically and deployment operations can be executed manually.

PROFESSIONAL EDITION
The Professional Edition is a commercial tool that provides you with advanced deployment and software audit features. It allows you to install and uninstall software on an unlimited number of remote PCs within the scope of a single operation. Deployment targets can be selected statically or dynamically by conditions. Also, you can create remote deployment and software audit tasks that can be executed manually or automatically on schedule.



Features and Highlights

Remote Software Deployment
Install, uninstall and repair EXE installations, MSI and MSP packages on one or multiple selected remote PCs over a LAN. You don't need to pre-install any client software on remote PCs. Software deployments work silently for end-users and are executed in parallel on multiple remote PCs to guarantee high-performance deployment.

Multi-Step and Customized Deployments
Use multi-step deployment if you need, for example, to uninstall an old version of the software and install a new one during one operation. Also, you can configure the application to execute custom actions before/after deployment. If deployment targets include different platforms, you can deploy different installations on x86 and x64 PCs.

Reusable Deployment Configurations
Save software deployment configurations as software bundles and use them in deployment operations. Each bundle represents the steps required to install, uninstall, and repair particular software. Multiple bundles can be grouped into bundle groups. Export and import bundles to exchange deployment configurations with colleagues.

Condition-Based Deployment Targets
Configure target PCs for deployment operations using flexible options. Specify a set of static PCs and conditions to define dynamic groups based on domains/workgroups, PC names, and OUs. Target PCs can be filtered by conditions based on the installed OS and software. You can save target configurations as collections to use in deployments.

Software Inventory
Audit software installed on the network PCs. The application extracts OS information and Windows Programs and Features data from remote PCs and stores it in a centralized database. You can track software changes and use the software audit data in deployment operations to select target PCs satisfying the software audit conditions.

Deployment Tasks and Schedule
Create pre-configured tasks if you need to execute the same deployment or software audit operations multiple times. A task includes a configuration of deployed software and target PCs. You can execute tasks manually or schedule them for automatic execution. Schedule a task for one-time or recurring execution on a defined date/time.
