I use wakemeonlan from http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/wake_on_lan.html

You could set up a windows button to wake up a specific machine using the command line option (Turn On a Computer From Command-Line section). Though I haven't tried that.

    It's not installed, so it really doesn't matter. You could just put it in the root of the C drive.
