How to remotely install software, including the installation of additional software (prerequisites) on several PCs?

There is software from a Russian vendor that requires the installation of the necessary components for operation (when the main setup.exe is launched), for example:
PreReq8=Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 Full.prq
PreReq9=Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 Full.prq
PreReq17=Microsoft SQL Server Compact 4.0 (x86).prq
PreReq18=Microsoft SQL Server Compact 4.0 (x64).prq
How to repack or create an msi / exe file so that you can install the required components and the software itself remotely via PsExec or via GPO at once in silent mode.
Please note that on some computers the software has already been installed manually and the versions are different. AD users do not have rights to install and change the system, so this must be run either as root or as localadmin.
And when updating from the server itself, the software crashes accordingly. because the files can not be replaced in the necessary folders.
PS: launching the main setup.exe installer with a regular batch file leads to an immediate reboot of the PC without warning, and this must be avoided, and after the reboot, you have to restart the bat file.
Thanks for the advice.
PPS: the vendor itself cannot for some reason create one installation file, instead of 20 different additional installers. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Well, then ask the vendor for an installation script and implement it in msi. If they paid money, then they should meet you if they plan to continue selling this product. And if they do not plan to sell it and do not go to a meeting, then no one has canceled reverse engineering.
