As the error message clearly suggests, you need to run this cmdlet elevated (as admin) on the remote machine.

I have tried that and it removed the error but my requirement is not achieved as it launch the installer in interactive mode.

Is there any option to run in non-inerecative mode.

You can use tools such as psexec for that.

largely depends on the .EXE ; review documentation for any command line switches for quiet/non-interactive mode.
