Pat, There is no failure the procedure works fine, see my last post for example.
The only problem is that it does not all the user to see whats going on, so I can not trouble shoot when something "goes wrong", when testing I was running the mapznrun batch file with a batch file that contained three lines todo.pl .restart todo.pl outlook.bat todo.pl --go Outlook installed fine but the system didn't restart. As I said it's not the idea is flawed (well it may be :)) but that windows (since SP3 / SP1 for xp) won't allow a remotely spawned process to interact with the desktop, if you test the script, with a w2k sp2 or lower it works without fail cheers Steve (01908) 580623 -----Original Message----- From: Patrick J.

Could you elaborate a bit? I thought processes created by Win32_Process.Create would have an off-screen windowstation and desktop.
