Probably yet another great installer which assumes you're still running MS-DOS or Windows 95, as the one and only user: Administrator. Try running WPKG Client as an Administrator, or a domain Administrator. By default, WPKG Client runs as a SYSTEM user. Also, why don't you try to use install the MSI using msiexec, and not this setup.exe program? Yet another way (which I sometimes use for some type of programs with dumb installers) is to: - install the program manually - copy the files to the server (i.e., C:\Program Files\something\), sometimes registry entries - deploy it to workstations using robocopy or a similar tool -- Tomasz Chmielewski http://wpkg.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
