guys, at the end of my very short packaging rope to do with the MS ADSI dsclient.exe install package. When this package runs (either interactivly or quitely) it wants to perform a reboot and I am desperately trying to stop it from doing that.

The package is here:

Active Directory Client Extensions for NT Workstation 4.0

It runs silently like this:

DSCLIENT /Q

if one runs this:

DSCLIENT /Q /N

it launches into some internalized setup proggie and give more of a help on what is going on. it wont install the package so no worries.

So I then extracted the contents of the package like this:

dsclient /c /t:c:\dsclient

[just say yeah to the eula and it will extract files to a directory ... it WONT install it.]

When extracted, there is a proggy called setup.exe and an INF called DSCLIENT.INF ... I'm thinking that there must be a setting in the INF or a switch on the wrapper or for setup.exe itself (setup /? yields nothing) to stop the REBOOT from happening ...

Anyone got a clue ?
