sorry guys, i know i havent been very clear about this, just trying to get used to this type of forum. Im starting to understand where to go for what, but at first i was kinda lost because there is so much info here.
Thank you for your patience and concern.

A,B,C: the bottom line is that there are users all logged onto these systems, and im trying to push out different installs without having to disturb every person while i do so. It takes time to log them out ,log in as admin, install, then log out, then log them in again.
i have tried "rexec", and that does wonders bc i dont have to log them out, i can run the file as admin, and walk over, and hit "next" a few times, and "ok",and then im done. but im trying to not have to fill up their "temp" folders with all these installs, so i would like to run them remotely from a shared folder, or if i have to run them from their pcs, i need to delete them right after the install is over with.
Thank you Co for the "cleandirectory()" that may help a lot.
D.I use xp pro, they use win2000
E.about 200, thank goodness for loop statements =)
