Is there software the helps me install a program on all the computers for which I'm responsible?

Multi-System Control

Looking for an end-all to the mass it deployment woes? Unfortunately, there aren't any industry-standard alternatives to either nagging your user base or simply doing multiple software upgrades yourself, computer by computer. Major IT corporations such as IBM have internal mass software deployment software that they use, but not that they sell readily.

The best you can do is to use remote administration software that has multi-system control, such as SupportDesk Pro, or even the lighter AccessDesk. They allow you to take control of a set of remote computers and perform software installs and upgrades. Another solution worth looking into is ManageSoft, which can perform some automatic updates of standard client software configurations.
