Re: Software Installation not working

I'm having a very similar problem. Trying to deploy a very small
calculator, I too get succesfull status in the event log but nothing seems
to install. I've looked in Program Files and there is nothing there however
it does appear in add\remove programs.

I have assigned it per computer and running a report in GPMgmt indicates
that the policy was deployed to that computer

One thing I did question was in the GPO I noticed that the option to
Auto-install by file extension option was checked, it is greyed out but it
is checked.

Thanks

Paul
