Recently, i posted this text
===============
I am using a kix script to perform installations with reboot and autologon. Before the reboot, the script set :
- information for autologon (username, password, domain or workstation)
- information about the script itself ans the next step to execute
the user used for this has a special login script that verifies in the registry (hkey_local_machine) if a script is pending. If yes, it restarts it. Then the script reads in the registry the step to execute and it continues the installation or the update.
I have prepared a "big" update for the 3000 workstations of a domain and we will generalize the deployment at the end of March. The update contains :
- Acrobat reader 6.0.1
- Internet explorer 6 SP1 and hotfix
- reinstall of SP6A (because of bug in IE6 install)
- hotfix post SP6a
- .Net Framework 1.1
- Citrix Client 7.100
(about 260 Mb of installation programs. all files have already been pushed locally).
during this installation, there are 4 reboots.
the procedure has been tested on several workstations.
we will make a larger test on the workstation of the IT service at 15th of march (now, I am in holidays).
===============
Now, we are doing the test for the IT service and we have a problem with IE6 :
After ie6 installation, reboot and autologon with an local administrator account, the "windows update" wizard that configures Navigation Services, Internet Tools, Security and System Services does not execute.
The login script starts and continues the kix installation of SP6 and next steps. After the last step (delete icon on all users desktop and start menu), there is a logoff.
When a user tries to connect, the wizard starts and says that my user is not administrator.
I have prepared IE installation with IEAK.
How can I force the end of IE installation before SP6 installation when the administrator account is connected ?

Ive managed to find this in the help file provided by IEAK6
Quote:
User Rights
The security model in Windows NT, Windows 2000, and Windows XP can prevent users from installing software on their systems. To register important system files, administrator privileges are required both during software installation and after the computer restarts. This requirement complicates the deployment of new versions of Internet Explorer to systems where a user without administrator privileges logs on to the system after the package is installed.
Enable logon after restart with user-level access
Select this check box to customize your package to retain administrator-level access after the computer restarts. After the computer restarts and a user logs on, the Windows Installer component completes the registration of the Internet Explorer system files. You can then distribute this package to users manually or as part of an automated deployment method such as Systems Management Server (SMS). In either case, users are not required to have administrator rights the next time they log on to the system.
You do not need administrator rights to install an IEAK package on computers running Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows Millennium Edition, because the operating system does not manage file registration on these systems.
When this package is installed on any SMS client, the component generates a .mif status file. SMS uses this file to detect whether the package is successfully installed.
Important
If you select this option, verify that that the media format for your package is flat, with all files in one folder.
Before using this option, you must verify that no other Windows Installer installation will run when the user installs the package.
Do not use this method when Internet Explorer is a component of another Windows Installer installation, such as Microsoft Office.
If you select this option, test thoroughly for potential interactions before distributing this package to your users.
User Rights only appears if you selected the Flat distribution method on the Media Selection page in Stage 1 of the wizard.
