This installation also needs to be run from mapped drive. I would
really like to run this in GPO via VB Script. If anyone knows the best
way to this, lemme know.

Subject: Re: [ActiveDir] Logon script with Admin rights
There is simple way of doing this that works if
a) the .exe has a quiet option (-q for example) with no gui output
b) it is not necessary to install the program from a logon script
Simply install the program from another machine using psexec.exe
i.e
logon remote machine with sufficient privileges and run
psexec -c \\remotemachine "install.exe -q"
where install.exe is the installation program
This method has several advantages if you put it in a script
1) It can easily be extended to install over a range of computers
2) You can get feedback as to whether it has installed or not.
As Rick points out preparing .msi files has it's drawbacks, not least
of which is access to a clean machine to prepare it on.
