Thank you for the reply, it has full control, I did it alternatly,
copied all installation software at local directory, then ran the exe,
still no luck, returing without any error.
Any more advise is appreciated.

==============

I have used psexec.exe for many years and it has never let me down. It would
appear therefore that the problem is with you or with your machine but not
with psexec.exe. You could run this test:
1. Turn off *all* firewalls on the remote machine.
2. Turn off *all* firewalls on the server that hosts the share.
3. Create a batch file on the remote machine with the lines shown below.
4. Adjust the lines to suit your environment.
5. Use psexec.exe to log on to the remote machine as administrator.
6. Run the batch file.
7. Post the contents of the log file c:\test.txt.

@echo off
echo %date% %time% %UserName% >> c:\test.txt
net user "%UserName%" >> c:\test.txt
net use Q: \\SomeServer\SomeShare 1>>c:\test.txt 2>>&1
net use >> c:\test.txt
dir Q:\ 1>>c:\test.txt 2>>&1
copy %comspec% Q:\ 1>>c:\test.txt 2>>&1- Hide quoted text -

Thank you pegasus for the nice script, my objective is to install an
application remotely using a shared resouces from command line. I'm
able to login the machine, now just I need to run setup.exe to install
an application, but when I type setup.exe, it goes back to command
prompt without any error message. It's mentioned that the local and
remote machines do not have firewall.
Any input is greatly appreciated.

Note that Pegasus said in an earlier reply: "except that there is no graphical user interface". Most setup.exe files appear in a graphical user interface, so do not work well with psexec. But all is not necessarily lost, as some such applications might provide a non-graphical interface option...
