While I haven't tried it under the SYSTEM context, I would imagine the CopyHere would work. &nbsp;The only problem you may have is whether your source location is not accessible by the SYSTEM account.<br />
<br />
For example, most network locations are not accessible by the SYSTEM computer accounts. &nbsp;The NetLogon share of your domain controllers are accessible though.<br />
<br />
Problem is though, I've never found a way (with VBScript at least) to fully silently install the fonts, as they always show a progress bar, and sometimes will have the same font name, but a different file name, so a FileExists test will pass, but the installation will fail with a &quot;this font already exists&quot; message.<br />

How do I silent install Type 1 Fonts under system context?<br />
<br />
I have tried the following:<br />
<br />
--<br />
Copy files to fonts by script and registry - but its not possible to see or use the fonts<br />
Used the VBS copyhere (shell.application) - but it does not work under system context<br />
--<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance<br />

VBScript (Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is an interpreted scripting language developed by Microsoft that is modeled on Visual Basic, but with some important differences. VBScript is commonly used for automating administrative and other tasks in Windows operating systems (by means of the Windows Script Host) and for server-side scripting in ASP web applications. It is also used for client-side scripting in Internet Explorer, specifically in intranet web applications.
