Er, this is your project so you are expected to do the work. Or are you planning to give the diploma to the person who writes your code?

This is more a *nix administrator question than a C++ question. Writing your own code to do this will likely break LAN security.

Assuming all PCs are Ubuntu (and you legitimately have admin level privileges):

Write a bash script that uses SSH to log into a PC and runs "sudo apt-get install vlc".

Normally, sudo must prompt for a password to escalate privilege but there's a work-around for that:

[SOLVED] Sudo in shell script[^]

For an arbitrary, custom binary hosted on your own server, you can use SFTP to download it onto the client PC. You still need the SUDO work-around above to actually install it (eg. "sudo make install").
