Hi Paul,

such things only work when the service is configured to be allowed to interact 
with the desktop - otherwise processes started from the service cannot create 
windows and all such autoit stuff is bound to fail.
Either way, this is rather dirty hackery and the Right Thing (tm) would be to 
get the Dropbox folks to release a real silent installer.  Starting with 
Windows Vista, it's no longer possible to allow such service to desktop 
interaction at all - breaking any package that uses autoit clickery from WPKG 
Client or WPKG-GP.

Cheers,
Malte
