Is it Possible to install the .msi from web application?

My msi file is on server and through web application i want to install that file silently.

The code which have tried is working on my system but after hosting on iis it is not working.

I had tried following Code:

string filepath = Server.MapPath("~/NewFolder1/Test.msi");

ScriptManager.RegisterClientScriptBlock(this, this.GetType(), "alertMessage", "alert('"+filepath+"')", true);

System.Diagnostics.Process process=null;

try

{

process = new System.Diagnostics.Process();

}

catch (Exception ex)

{

}

System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo();

startInfo.UseShellExecute = true;

startInfo.WindowStyle = System.Diagnostics.ProcessWindowStyle.Normal;

startInfo.FileName = "cmd.exe";

// startInfo.Arguments = "/K msiexec.exe /i \"" + @"D:\Datta\CrispDoxCompression.msi" + "\" /quite /qn";

startInfo.Arguments = "/K msiexec.exe /i \"" + filepath + "\" /qn";

startInfo.Verb = "runas";

process.StartInfo = startInfo;

process.Start();

ScriptManager.RegisterClientScriptBlock(this, this.GetType(), "alertMessage", "alert('2')", true);
