1) No silent is not equal unattended. Silent means I'm logged my session, is active with my rights, access etc.  AND I see anything. Unattended  means that never the system ask to me an aswer by a click or a prompt or like situation. It's a boolean serie unattended but visible unattended and visible visible and attended 2) What admion rights ? Admin domain rights? workstation rights ? RunAs Admin rights ? The logon process not automatically give the right combination immediately and the task where live the logon scripts when will can become 'administrating' ? 3) look at at yor 4th line. Probably the error is there c:\temp\v5r2\setup -s -f1z:\iseriesv5r2.iss -f2c:\v5r2.log -SMS   ----- Original Message ----- From: Baekelant, Erik To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Sent: Thursday, November 20, 2003 2:03 PM Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] OT: Using InstallShield in a Startup Script not really an expert on this, but here are two suggestions: - Is it really a silent install (silent isn't equal to unattended) ? - Some setups do require Admin rights/does the setup create reg keys/shortscuts in part of the profile - Would it be a problem to run the script at logon time instead ?   Erik -----Original Message----- From: Celone, Mike [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 19, 2003 11:41 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Using InstallShield in a Startup Script I tried this and it does the same thing.  I have a script that lists all processes running on the machine and I can see setup.exe in there but it never does anything.  I'm starting to think you can't use an InstallShield installer until you are logged in.  I can see it copy the files down and the install starts but that's it.  Also InstallShield never creates the log file either.  Here's an example of the batch file: md c:\temp md c:\temp\V5R2 copy \\server\iseries\*.* c:\temp\v5r2 c:\temp\v5r2\setup -s -f1z:\iseriesv5r2.iss -f2c:\v5r2.log -SMS   Mike From: Douglas M.
