I have developed some more of the installation functionality.
Currently the GUI does the following:

    * If it is running on a non-Windows (Unix/Linux) system:
          o If local Inventory fails, it asks for a file that contains 
            a 'Standalone distribution' and installs it where indicated 
            in the GUI (lineEditAgentUnix in "Files and Filders" tab) 
            and then retries the agent execution.
          o If remote Windows inventory fails, it tries to install the 
            agent on the remote windows host using the installation file 
            indicated in the GUI (lineEditInstWin in Installation tab) 
            and then retries the remote agent execution.
          o Remote Unix / Linux inventory is not implemented yet.
    * If it is running on a Windows system:
          o If local Inventory fails, it tries to install the agent using 
            the installation file indicated in the GUI (lineEditInstWin 
            in Installation tab) and then retries the remote agent 
            execution.
          o Remote Windows inventory (using PsExec) is not implemented yet.
          o Remote Unix / Linux inventory is not implemented yet.


I think remote Unix/Linux inventory/installation can be done using libssh.
Any opinion?
