We have a particular application that uses Install Shield Scripting 8 to run
some execs at the end of an Installer packaged application. When they are
applied to a client machine as adverts from SMS2003, the execs appear to
run, but the changes they are supposed to make such as registering new fonts
or registering some DLL's are not made. They work fine if the application
is installed by hand. Any ideas what could be the issue? It appears to me
that SMS is not getting the right security rights on the client machine to
make the changes within ISScript8.
