Using Group Policy to run an MSI

Hello,

1st off...... I have selected 

Forum Category =WINDOWS SERVER

Fourm= Group Policy

As far as I know this is the only Forum listed from the pull downs for Group Policy    but it seems that each time  I post to this one the  first replies I will get will be from folks that tell me  I posted ot the wrong forum...and they move my questions....so if this is truly the case  I apologize right  up front

Server 2003    Windows 7Pro 64

THe Winzip folks say you can use GP to do what amounts to a silent install w/ no user involvment . The ystate that you should use the Computer part of the policy  since the install is on a computer basis  not user basis

So I have  all that in place   but when the PC is started up....there is no trace of anything  happening  nothing in any of the event logs...and no evedance of Winzip being installed

If I run gpresult /r  it tells        me the computer policy WINZIP  is applied   

Earlier I had  been wrestling with this  I would see errors in the system event log...and after decyphering those, it appeared there was sone sort of permission problem........ but now there is nothing in the log and nothing other than gpresult telling me the policy is applied    I see nothing else

I searched the registery for WINZIP and there is just an entry for the shared folder  thats it

Thanks
