Thanks for the quick reply.

Here is a little more information about my problem. The particular patch I'm trying to install with Kix is the Q321232 for IE 5/5.5/6. The executable does provide a /q option for quiet install wich ONLY removes the "Do you want to install..." and "This update has been installed" messages (As I only see the french version of these messages, I'm translating as best I can. Anyway, you get the idea). The /q option does not remove the "You must reboot..." question at the end of the install.

I've tried it with SENDKEYS(). I've also tried to SETFOCUS() on the window of the question but it is not successful (non-zero returned).

From what I understand, control (focus) does not return to my logon script window until I answer the reboot question. Therefore, that makes me wonder if a ShutDown() would work in this case.

Do I make sense at all ?

Thanks again
