Installing programme on a netbook

Earlier this year I treated myself (well MWL actually) to an Asus Netbook (no periferals or other drives). I now have found the need to install a programme onto it.
As I am unlikely to want to do this often I don't particularly want to buy a stand alone CD Rom drive to do this!

Options that strike me as possible are: -

Load Programme to PC, link Pc to netbook via USB and copy programme across is this possible?
I have a router in use but have not set a network up as I have not needed one yet, PC is hard wired, Netbook is wireless (but could be hard wired)

Load programme to PC, copy to USB memory stick then to netbook (security on programme permitting)

As above but using a portable hard drive I have

The other option I will look at (at home) is to see if I can download directly from the device manufacturers site


Any advice appreciated
