Office 2010 Install Through GPO Fails

We are trying to install Office 2010 using a startup script that is assigned through Group Policy. The script works great if I run it manually, but if it runs via the startup script the install fails with the error:

Setup ended with error code 5

I believe this is related to permissions required to cache the install files to the local drive, but I'm not sure. I work for a school district and have over 1600 PCs that need this update, so doing it by hand is not an option. The .bat file is located below and is simply a modification of the sample script from Tech Net. I've also included the Office 2010 config.xml file. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

config.xml:

<Configuration Product="ProPlus">

      <Display Level="none" CompletionNotice="no" SuppressModal="yes" AcceptEula="yes" />
      
      <Logging Type="standard" Path="%temp%" Template="Microsoft Office Professional Plus Setup(*).txt" />

      <USERNAME Value="*******" />
      
      <COMPANYNAME Value="************" />
      
      <INSTALLLOCATION Value="%programfiles%\Microsoft Office" />
      
      <!-- <LIS CACHEACTION="CacheOnly" /> -->
      
      <!-- <LIS SOURCELIST="\\server1\share\Office;\\server2\share\Office" /> -->
      
      <!-- <DistributionPoint Location="\\server\share\Office" /> -->
      
      <!-- <OptionState Id="OptionID" State="absent" Children="force" /> -->
      
      <Setting Id="SETUP_REBOOT" Value="IfNeeded" />
      
      <Command Path="%windir%\system32\msiexec.exe" Args="/i \\server\share\my.msi" QuietArg="/q" ChainPosition="after" Execute="install" />
</Configuration>

What do you mean by "SYSTEM  that do not share folder rights"? The user, SYSTEM, has full control to the local hard drive as well as the shared directory where the installation files are stored.

I had already read the three posts above. Microsoft recommends running the install using a startup script - are you saying this doesn't work??
