VBS software Deployment via GPO
Hi
I have created a silent install of logmein through vbs
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScr
WshShell.Run "msiexec.exe /q /i \\senabzdata\images\logmei
I would like to make this available for deployment via GPO
I guess I could just add the vbs to start-up, but how do I stop it from running if the application is already installed? or is there a better way?

The above mention url mention script first it check the your software install on the machine or not. if yes then your script will be stop install the software.

Why a scripted installation? Simple GPO software deployment is ALWAYS silent, when computer objects are targeted. You need no script. Put the MSI into you GPO->compconfig->software and there you go.
Yes, GPO installation is always silent installation.

It will install silently but with logmein, if you don't reference the deployment ID etc, it doesn't add the pc to the correct account. I managed to get it to work simply by adding the above vbs into a startup script. thanks

ok so I add that to the end of the install vbs
No, to the beginning. "setupcommand" is your vbs-script.
