Hi,

Just above that you'll find these errors
MSI (s) (14:E4) [14:47:25:031]: Note: 1: 1707
MSI (s) (14:E4) [14:47:25:031]: Note: 1: 2262 2: Error 3: -2147287038
MSI (s) (14:E4) [14:47:25:031]: Note: 1: 2262 2: Error 3: -2147287038


When the user logs on it runs a .bat that runs the wpkg msi. The error
can be seen at

www.concretenoise.com/wpkgerror.jpg

it appears before the desktop arrives.


The event log states:

"Product: WPKG -- Error 1722. There is a problem with this Windows
Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish
as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor.  Action
_A9459942_EE79_497A_9080_F39DDA8A7B80, location: C:\Program
Files\wpkg\wpkginst.exe, command: --SETTINGSFILE="

it also states:

"The WPKG Service service is marked as an interactive service.
However, the system is configured to not allow interactive services.
This service may not function properly."

Thats why the service won't run I think

MS have a page about this

Thanks for your help.
