Hi Cary thanks for your reply
I should have been a bit more clearer - i am appling the group policy to OU
containers in Active Directory - im am pushing out a logon script to users to
install the msi, the OS is win2k - I am using a login script to push the msi
on win2k machines as if I use group policy it just sits in add/remove
programs
as trouble shooting I have made sure there anre any local policies affecting
installation and have made sure that the msi works (which it does under admin
account) I have run the script (batch file) from the command prompt and that
works fine
I also tried assigning the policy to a machine but this failed too, i'm
assuming it failed as it was unable to get a network connection. hence find
the path of the msi
