asked on Cannot run executable file on workstation
Windows 7 Pro 32 bit server - firewall turned off
Windows XP Pro workstation - firewall and anti virus turned off
Installed multi user program on server. Shared the folder with Everyone giving full rights to the folder. Inside the main folder is a Client Setup folder that contains the Client Setup executable file.
Logged onto the workstation as The Administrator. The workstation can see and open all of the folders. However, when they double click on the exe file nothing happens. On the server the install starts. What can be stopping the file from running?

1. on workstation, run process monitor and see what's going on
2. if this is MSI-based setup, enable logging, and analyze the collected log.
