Remote Installation of "Remotely" app via PowerShell

My organization uses a software called Remotely for remote access to some of our users devices. I'm trying to find a way to install the software remotely via PowerShell. I have the installer file copied locally on the root of the C drive on each machine. Here is what I've tried.

enterPS C:\Users\USER> Invoke-Command -ComputerName REMOTEPC -ScriptBlock { Start-Process C:\Remotely_Installer.exe -install -quiet -organizationid "IDSTRING" -serverurl "" } 

Running this command returns a "Paramater cannot be found that matches the names "install." This is what is on Remotely's website but it doesn't specify anything for remote installation via PowerShell.

Remotely_Installer.exe -install -quiet -organizationid "0b3d706b-9c5d-41e6-8ae9-5720d16324e6" -serverurl "" 

Ideally I'd be able to have a simple script where I can have the user copy the file to their C drive and then I can run the script, target their device, and have it show up in the remote management portal.

Does this work? Start-process isn't needed that often, except to wait for something started in the background. This assumes the installer is already on the remote computer.

# $s = new-pssession remotepc # copy-item C:\Remotely_Installer.exe c:\ -tosession $s # slow Invoke-Command REMOTEPC { C:\Remotely_Installer.exe -install -quiet -organizationid IDSTRING -serverurl } 

I was able to get it installed with the following command inside a .bat file

start "" "path\Remotely_Install.exe" -install -quiet -supportshortcut -organizationid "yourOrganizationId" -serverurl "yourServerUrl"
