I have a script to run two .msi installation packages from active directory. The script (vbscript) lives in the GPO for computer start up scripts (as opposed to start up script for users). The script runs fine and installs the software.
The problem is that there is no entry in the Add/Remove programs list, even when I log on as an administrator. The reason this is a problem is that there is no way to uninstall the software, if it becomes necessary, even when the .msi packages are run directly from the network share where they live ... in fact, when I exectue the .msi package this way it acts as if the software wasn't installed to begin with and starts to install the software a second time.
Is this an authorities issue? Do I need to add a registry entry from the script to allow uninstalls? Please, any help appreciated.
