Hi all, this is my first post, so be gentle. I've been working w/kix now for about 6 months and have learned quite a bit about it... so here goes:

I'm trying to use an executable file to install a program on all of our client PCs here via a kix-script ran through a windows server 2k AD startup script onto XP and 2k clients. The relevant line of code is simply:

shell "\\server\install$$\setup.exe"

This is of course preceded by code that i KNOW works, but for some reason, when the code gets to the command above, the exe file is simply not ran. Is there some reason why the executable will not execute one some test runs, but will on others? Is there something I'm overlooking about the way startup scripts are processed? I'm using a startup script as opposed to a login script because our users are not administrators and do not have sufficient permissions to install softare. If I'm missing something please let me know, and perhaps maybe suggest a better way to do it. I've ruled out permissions on the file server, and also, the XP clients are set to wait for the network to fully initialize so that should not be an issue either. Please help, thanks.
