Did you copy the files to C:\Temp on all the computers you
want to
<br>
install them to?
<br>
If not, put them on a network share and install from there
instead.
<br>
I install WPKG by a startup script that also checks that the
service
<br>
is set to automatic.

I moved the installation files in a network share and ran the
command
<br>
again (from the server, ofc), but - again - nothing happens on
the
<br>
target client apart from the messages in the event viewer i
posted before.
<br>
<br>
I really don't know what else to try, i follwed the instructions
step by
<br>
step (apart from putting the .xml files on the root directory of
the
<br>
server, but i don't think this can be a matter).

Are you sure, that "domain\useradmin" has administrative rights on
the
<br>
local computers?
<br>
<br>
I'd suggest to go to a target machine, run the psexec command
locally using cmd.exe instead of msiexec, and then within cmd.exe
run msiexec manually to get an idea what's wrong.
<br>
<br>
BTW:
<br>

<br>

<br>
If you specify the parameter -d, that means "Don't wait for
process to terminate", so psexec starts the command and then exits
instantly.

As i said in another reply, if i go to the target machine, open a
command prompt with administrative rights and run the command <span

"\\servername\wpkg\client\install\WPKG_Client_1.3.14-x64.msi" /qb
SETTINGSFILE="\\servername\wpkg\client\install\settings.xml" it
all goes fine.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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).<br>
