Hi Jean-Luc, I'm the author of appsonly.bat / appsonly.pl script. appsonly.bat sets these environment variables at the beginning: Z --> saves the local drive letter that should be used for install share mapping, search for the lines... REM preferrably, we will use drive z: for install dir mapping set z=z: ...in appsonly.bat in order to configure this / to avoid collisions with drive letters that are already in use. Z_PATH --> saves UNC path of install dir, for example \\myserver\install Z_USER --> I just pass the current value of USERNAME (that means the currently logged on user) to Z_USER, so to be honest, that variable is somehow redundant... After appsonly.bat has processed the whole todo stack (which may include several reboots), all 3 variables Z, Z_PATH, Z_USER are deleted. Generally, I have never thought about saving credentials for accessing the \\server\install share, it was simply not necessary. The appsonly.bat script assumes that - the user calling the script has admin privileges - the user calling the script has access to the install share without having to fill out any user / password dialogs appsonly.bat *does* save user / password credentials, but only for setting the autologin and not for accessing the install share. So, in short: a possible solution is configuring your Samba share in a way that no password prompt pops up. You can post your /etc/samba/smb.conf here if you want or send me a PM, so I may have a look at it.
