I have a MSI that creates it's default folder in Users*\Appdata\Roaming but the machines on which we have to execute the msi are all newly built. There are no users logged on. Is there an VBS or any suggestion that can execute this.
You might not realize it, but your question is pretty broad. There's an abundance of methods you could use to achieve this result. The easiest would likely be to scrape the host fqdn's, iterate over the list, and use powershell to invoke-command an install action.
A preferred method would be to use some sort of configuration management. Be it Chef, Ansible, Puppet, etc. Though this requires some implementation and architecture which will necessitate some planning.
A package manager would likely be helpful too, chocolatey, nuget, etc.

I know this is probably a super silly question, but how do I install on my pc open source programs that I find here on github.
By installing I mean directly from the source code, and not by going on some external website and downloading the file from there.
I know I'm a noob, just go easy on me please
Github page of the program will generally show README file, and it would contain instructions on how to install this program. Sometimes you can find the instructions in wiki pages for this project.
There is no one general way to install something from github, it really depends on the software you are looking at.
Quite often, especially if it is a big project and is written in low level language, the main installation step is entering commands
./configure
make
make install
in your terminal, but this is only one of the different installation procedures.

How can i create a suite app and deploy it from suitecloud IDE (eclipse).I cant find an option to create a suiteapp ,were would i find it ?
To my understanding SuiteApps are just Bundles, you don't need SuiteCloud IDE to create one. Although I don't think there's only one way to have a SuiteApp. I see some are just bundles but some get more complex and they may require a guy to login to the account and install it and configure it manually, or a combination of both.
You need to have at least a SDN Select Account in order to have your SuiteApp listed on www.suiteapp.com . You get access to help on how to get it done and more. Once your SuiteApp is listed there people who are interested in your SuiteApp will contact you by filling a form.
More info here: http://www.netsuite.com/portal/common/pdf/ds-sdn.pdf
Also, if you want your SuiteApp to have the "Built for Netsuite" certification you need to check this out too: http://www.netsuite.com/portal/developers/built-for-netsuite.shtml

I have heard good things about Chef, was curious about all of the benefits before I devote time to learning a new tool. Not looking to turn this into opinion thread, looking for a list of additional features it has over makefile/shell script.
Chef, and Ansible/Puppet/Salt too (collectively called CAPS), are all based on the structure of "describe the desired state of the system and the tool will make it happen".
A script or Makefile is generally a procedural system, run this, then run that, etc. That means you need to keep a mental model of system from each step to the next, and if that ever deviates from the real system (ex, a directory you are trying to set the owner of doesn't exist) your script usually breaks.
With some stuff this is easy, like yum/apt-get install as they are internally idempotent, you can run them every time and if the package is already installed, it just does nothing.
CAPS systems take that principle (idempotence) and apply it to all management tasks. This has for the most part resulted in less brittle configuration management as you only need to tell the tool what the end result should look like and it will take care of figuring out the delta from the current state.

When creating a netcat-like program how do I get that file onto a server? It seemed like the reason for creating a netcat-like program was to be able to use it to run commands, get files and connect to ports.
So it seems like it's necessary to have it on the server in order to put it on the server?
I'm probably just really confused.
You'd use another program to load it initially. For example, you might ssh in.
It is also possible that you'd have physical access to the server and could install the first file transfer program manually, or as part of the intial OS install.
Not all interactions have to be done remotely. Otherwise, your intuition would be right -- we'd have a chicken and egg problem.

Simply put, can I use github online rather than ever having to download the program for windows. It appears to be much easier than downloading git or the github application. Any thoughts on this?
Yes, you can if you like. Github supports online editing and commit. But I don't think it's convenient since you cannot compile, run and debug your codes, and easy to lost your work when you close your browser without save.
You lose a lot of power by giving up the command line, but you can certainly do most routine tasks in the cloud. You can do some limited editing and repository tasks directly on GitHub, or hook into your GitHub repository with a cloud-based IDE like Cloud9, CodeEnvy, or other similar services.
