It really depends on the specific software package. I deploy all my software packages with KiXtart through remote connections and the approach differs slightly depending on the installer used.

With most Microsoft 200x products, you would create an administrative install, then use the Custom Installation Wizard to create a custom installation and distribute it with the Windows installer.

Most other installer programs allow you to create a custom response file that can then be run, thus not requiring user input.

You can then use either SU.EXE or the Task Scheduler to deploy your applications under administrative accounts.

Please read the following posts for more information:

Oh, nad the enxt time, pleae post in the appropriate forum, which would have been either 'Starters' or 'Scripts'
