I am installing a new program who uses passwords throught the network and the
complete installation is perform after a restart action, what I really want
to do is reconnect the RAS network before the new program try to continue the
installation due to it needs it. It the new program does not find network the
installation is not complete. Does the procedure you describe can run before
the rest of the new program installation?
