Create / Remove applications on remote IIS server

Hello,

I simply want to create and remove applications on remote IIS servers. The only way I have found to do this is to use

System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo procStartInfo =
new System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo("cmd", "/c " + command);
System.Diagnostics.Process proc = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
proc.StartInfo = procStartInfo;

proc.Start();

and insert a command that calls to psexec.exe which then calls APPCMD on the server. It is a mess, and it only works if my application is run from the local hard drive.

If someone runs my .exe from a network location the command never goes through. Also psexec requires a license agreement.

Is there any simpler way to administrate IIS servers in C# programs without the user needing to install the remote management consoles?
