Cross posted there with first suggestion. &nbsp;All depends what the software does during install but a file check, registry check for the MSI entries or similar is good for some, or you can use Group Policy to do the work for instance if you have Active Directory.<br />
<br />
Otherwise a log file like suggested means you can see centrally who has run the update and when.

I am planning to run a silent installation on my clients, using a .bat login script. How can I prevent the installation to start over the next time they log in? I of course can't remove the bat file before I am pretty sure it has been installed everywhere. I add this to my script:<br />
<br />
@echo off<br />
msiexec /qn /i &quot;\\10.218.110.21\Setup_Add<wbr />in\Mailbox<wbr /> Central Outlook Addin.msi&quot;

Skip .bat installation if present

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
