Your understanding of the script is correct. However there is no way to bypass the UAC prompt except disabling UAC completely. Software installation always requires Administrator privileges which always triggers an UAC prompt on Vista. I've delveloped the execute-elevated script to reduce the amount of prompts during WPKG execution to 1 (whole wpkg.js can be run with elevated privileges and installers run by WPKG inherit this privileges). WPKG client does not need this wrapper as it usually runs wpkg.js with SYSTEM privileges (which is not affected by the UAC prompt "feature"). However to install WPKG client you really need an administrator account. If you operate an active-directory domain you might deploy WPKG via group policies. br, Rainer ------------------------------------------------------------------------- wpkg-users mailing list archives >> http://lists.wpkg.org/pipermail/wpkg-users/ _______________________________________________ wpkg-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.wpkg.org/mailman/listinfo/wpkg-users
