The correct syntax is:

psexec \\RemoteName c:\calc.exe

However . . . psexec.exe is suitable for command line
commands only. Calc.exe has a graphical user interface
and will therefore not work under psexec.exe. Try
something simple, e.g.

psexec \\RemoteName attrib.exe c:\*.*

I don't know if the administrative shares need to be
enabled on the target machine or not. If they do then
you can easily fix it like so:

HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters
Set the value of : AutoShareServer to 1
Set the value of : AutoShareWks to 1
