This might seem like a dump question, but my complete ignorance with VbScript is giving me no chance to try to work it out. In short, a system administrator friend of mine, asked me to write him a script that should allow him to enter a remote machine name, a domain credentials, and an MSI package that will be installed on the specified remote machine.
I know this is silly, I mean, come on! No one can just log in to SO and ask for a cake, people should ask about how to get the cake cooked. I know, but please forgive my absolute laziness and help!

    This will open simple input boxes to get the required information. *NOTE: Input is only checked to make sure it is not blank, entering invalid data will cause the script to fail.

    strUser = ""
    strPassword = ""
    strMSI = ""
    strComputer = ""
    
    'Get user name, cannot be blank
    Do While strUser = ""
        strUser = InputBox("Enter user name", "User Name")
    Loop
    'Get password, cannot be blank
    Do While strPassword = ""
        strPassword = InputBox("Enter password", "Password")
    Loop
    'Get msi package path, cannot be blank
    Do While strMSI = ""
        strMSI = InputBox("Enter the path to the msi package", "MSI package")
    Loop
    'Get destination computer, cannot be blank
    Do While strComputer = ""
        strComputer = InputBox("Enter the destination computer name", "Computer")
    Loop
    
    
    Const wbemImpersonationLevelDelegate = 4
    
    Set objWbemLocator = CreateObject("WbemScripting.SWbemLocator")
    Set objConnection = objwbemLocator.ConnectServer _
        (strComputer, "root\cimv2", strUser, strPassword)
    objConnection.Security_.ImpersonationLevel = wbemImpersonationLevelDelegate
    
    Set objSoftware = objConnection.Get("Win32_Product")
    errReturn = objSoftware.Install(strMSI,,True)
    

    ** This script is untested.
