I have setup a group policy in the domain controller. I
have set up that in computer configuration mode. I want to
install the MSI files on demand ie. in a event driven
basis on to my clients.

Example: In a particular time of the day the client
machines should install the files from gpo and time is
decided on a periodic basis.

Is this feasible ?? I mean I should be able to remotely
reboot the clients for this to take place. Can I do that
using GPO ?
 
This is not possible. The policy is applied at boot for machines or either
at logon for clients or when the access a file related to the application.
Even if you create the GPO at say, noon and reboot the clients immediately
there after, the application may not deploy immediately due to replication
latency. SMS or SUS maybe an option to pursue.
