I am probably the most dense person on here. I was hoping someone asked the same question. I kept reading other sites, but no luck. As my name implies, I am not a network/admin guy, I am a developer trying to double as a security implementer at my humble shop.

Anyway, I am trying to autoinstall Q321232.exe in a login script. I got it to work in a normal bat file just by copying the file to the users c:\ drive and then run it Q321232.exe problem is when they reboot, it runs again.

I installed kix start on our PDC and tried taking advantage of IF NOT EXIST ("C:\Q321232.exe")
but that doesn't work. So i have some basic questions.

1) Does kix need to be installed on everyones local machine who will be logging on.

2) Does it matter what directory Kix is loaded into.

I had mybatfile.bat loaded into the user login script and the file contained the following.

C:\LocationofKix\kix32 \\Sharedfile\mykixfile.kix

mykixfile.kix contained the

if not exist ("C:\q321232.exe")
copy \\shareddirectory\q321232.exe c:\
c:\q321232.exe -u
endif

HELP!!!!!!!!!
