Kevin, When you are packaging the script and adding the program, on the environment tab, have you selected "run with administrative rights?"

It doesn't seem possible to install fonts for all user, or as the system like an application. So ultimately this will not work for me as we have users that have no privileges or have access to the fonts folder. So it is back to the drawing board. If anyone else has ideas on how to install fonts for non-Admin users I would love to hear it. I will go back through the sites suggested and see..

For my detection I had to put in each registry string for detection. At first it would install everything but then fail, and I figured it was the detection (I originally had it setup with just the beginning of the font name - MyriadPro, then I decided to connect to my machine and put the full string and it finally worked. [cid:[email protected]] Put a small little pop up box letting them know what it was, and then a box telling them when it was done. It is not pretty but it works :) Thanks to Jason, Reto and Jason W for the links.

I have some corporate fonts (20) that when I install in the base image as Administrator do not install when a user logs on. I am thinking maybe I should look into copyProfile? The second challenge I have is trying to install it for the other 600 computers that do not have the fonts. I found a few scripts online and I have tried them, but they break when pushing in SCCM (user deploy) Any ideas?
