Re: Install program at startup

Thanks for your reply. Will the HKLM\RunOnce run as a local admin? I
tried this earlier. When I logged in with an admin account, the
program installed OK, but when I used an unprivileged account, the
program did not install.

Thanks

Value Name can be anything. Value Data should be the path to the file. For
example,
C:\ProgramFiles\MRU-Blaster\indexcleaner.exe

Will run once and the key will be deleted.

By default, Run keys are ignored in Safe mode. The value name can be
prefixed with an exclamation point to defer deletion of the value until
after the command has been completed. The value is deleted before the
command line is run unless overridden as noted above. As a result, if a
RunOnce operation fails to run properly, the component that failed will not
be asked to run again the next time you start the computer.

Hello -

I have an MSI that I'd like to have installed duringstartup

I know I can use a Local or Group policy and just specify theprogram
under ComputerStartup(rather than User Logon) or even use Software
Distribution, but is there any other way -- specifically without using
a Policy?

Thanks
-Joe
