    If you want to post the script I could look over it real quick and see if I
    see anything.
    As for your other questions,
    You can set permissions on registry keys and hives through something like
    regedt32 or there are utilities out there, reg.exe I believe is one?
    My guess is it isn't a permissions problem if you can do it manually just
    fine.
    Are you sending this out using SMS or just running your repackaged exe
    manually?
    There are many ways around things in use. Stop the service that is in use
    then do it, disable it and restart putting things in the runonce key in the
    registry, etc... usually thought the things I've found that are causing
    issues are things I can just delete out of my script anyway. Such as
    registry junk that was picked up and just needs to be cleaned out of the
    script.
    In your case it sounds like something different.
    So like I said if you want to send me or post your script I could take a
    look and maybe have more suggestions.
