GPO Software installation error 1000 userinit...

[Malic]

Hello.

Some may remember me from last week. I am still having difficulty
installing my software for my entire company. I'm hoping with this
additional information someone will be able to help me.

From information obtained here, I know that the GPO startup runs as the
system account on the local machine so it should have rights to install the
software. I have the install located on a public directory on my network.
Everyone has access to this install. It uses a silent install script which
I got by using setup.exe -r.

So now I have my .vbs file (I found this sample code on the internet, I'm
not a programmer/scripter by any since of the word):

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run(\\gsea\public\thinprint\setup.exe /s
/f1\\gsea\public\thinprint\setup.iss)
' ReturnCode = WshShell.Run("%windir%\notepad.exe", 1, True)
At this point I dont care about code to see if it is already installed. I
just have to get this working. I can add that later. On my test OU when
someone starts up and logs in I see userinit run. So I go to the event
viewer and I get the following error in my Apps log.

Event Type: Error
Event Source: UserInit
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1000
Date: 7/27/2004
Time: 8:54:30 AM
User: N/A
Computer: GSE141
Description:
Could not execute the following script
\\domain_name\SysVol\domain_name\Policies\{6C11076D-B84D-4202-AE35-649FD5AAB
2E5}\Machine\Scripts\Startup\test.vbs. No application is associated with the
specified file for this operation.
.. For more information, see Help and Support Center at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

So, what do I need to do which my script to make it run? No application
associated with this file. In the GP I have
\\domain_name\SysVol\domain_name\Policies\{6C11076D-B84D-4202-AE35-649FD5AAB
2E5}\Machine\Scripts\Startup\test.vbs for the script name and nothing set as
the parameters. Do I need to add something in the parameters? I looked up
this event at eventid.net and it says to put the full path to the .vbs in
the script name which I have done.

I appreciate all of your help.
