    I'm trying to deploy IE to non-administrator users using
    Windows 2000 and Active Directory [1]. I've created an URD
    Package using IEAK and am using the MSI Wrapper [2] to run
    the setup.

    The Group Policy in Windows 2000 is working ok but the MSI
    wrapper isn't actually executing the package I created. On
    IE 6 SP1 Setup MSI Wrapper Administrators Guide [2] it
    says the MSI file should be customized by updating
    the "IE6SetupPath" to the path to the shared distribution
    folder referring to file "ie6sp1gp.exe". So far so good
    but that still doesn't run my custom made package.

    I've created a folder on the network \\server\share\ (just
    an example). The MSI files are on the root of that folder
    and the custom made package is at \\server\share\FLAT\WIN32
    \EN and \\server\share\ISN\WIN32\EN.

    What am I doing wrong? Why isn't the MSI wrapper executing
    my package?

    Thank you,
    AD
