I have a .MSI that works great when you just click on it. When I try to
deploy it using Group Policy, installs everything except the shortcuts under
the start menu. The .MSI is only 2.7mb and when you click on it it takes
about 5 sec to install. I can't seem to make it work. This is my first
attempt at doing this so it could be something easy.

Has anyone else seen this?

Thanks in advance

Steve
