RE: [ActiveDir] Using InstallShield in a Startup Script

[Douglas M. Long]

If you are able to get to the share, but the script is not executing the .exe, try copying the file from the share to the local machine (in your script) and then running setup.exe. Just make sure to use full paths in all instances

Subject: [ActiveDir] Using InstallShield in a Startup Script

Has anyone ever called an InstallShield setup from a startup script before?  I have a simple batch file that calls an InstallShield setup.exe file from a startup script but it never seems to run.  The setup.exe file is on a server with a Null Share.  I've verified that the script is able to reach the file but the setup does not seem to run.  The machine I'm testing it on says "Running startup scripts" when it boots up for about 15 minutes but the setup program is never run.  If I login to the machine and run the file it works without any problems.
