Install MSI remotely

Ok, I'm building an application that queries a list of servers and returns a set of values. After you get the values you have options to fix the issues.

One of the things i'm trying to do is if the Windows Installer is an older version, to install the newer version.

I'm been searching for a way to do it, but cannot seem to find any information on this.
Any ideas?

I think if you have service pack II you should have the latest msi installer.

And all your pcs should have service pack II right?
