As i said in another reply, if i go to the target machine, open a 
command prompt with administrative rights and run the command msiexec /i 
"\\servername\wpkg\client\install\WPKG_Client_1.3.14-x64.msi" /qb 
SETTINGSFILE="\\servername\wpkg\client\install\settings.xml" it all goes 
fine.

I think it's a psexec issue but i cannot get the cause. If i run psexec 
dorm the server i continue to see the message msiexc started on PCNAME 
with process ID number but nothing happens on PCNAME.

I tried to run the command without -d parameter, but if i do that the 
command hangs the command prompt (and still nothing happens on the 
target machine)
