Intranet Site to host software to be remotely installed: Advice?

Well, I'm really sick of carrying CD's (almost every adobe product, MS Office, and tons of others) around with me to multiple computers every day so i've been pondering upon an idea.

What would be the best way to approach setting up a little site on the network that I could just click the title of the software and it would launch the installation? I was thinking of making images of all the CD's and using Daemon Tools or something to make each image a drive. That was its very secure and write protected.

Anyone set up anything like this?

LMK
thanks
 
I just copy the CD to a folder on my server's archive share and access it via SMB on my network clients. You can always just share the CD drive containing the CD, too.

(assuming you are running a Windows network - since you mentioned MS Office, I guess you are)
 
Yup, if u want to set up a specific server to do this for all your software. Get a cheapie dell with a 15kscsi drive and copy the Cd's into folders and you are all set. I have been doing something like it with my oracle client installs this week (those damn Oracle8i installs on P4's). Sharing a cd drive will work as well, but will be slower for sure then pulling it off of a 15k scisi Ultra wide!
