Well, I have attempted for 5 or 6 hours to get this working. It appears my
.exe file and silent install .iss just wont run. I get the msiexec.exe and
setup.exe running in the task manager but it just sits there and never
finishes the install.

I tried .bat, .wsh, .vbs and a few others in the GPO startup script. RUNAS
and psexec tool. I dont know if it is permissions ora bad script.

Thanks for the help. other suggestions?
