GPO sw deployment not completing as expected

[Robert Gordon]

I have an application, wrapped in an MSI, which I am trying to push out to a
comput farm. However, the final step in it's installation appear to not be
working, although MSI logging reports the install as completing correctly.

The exepcted behavior of the install is as follows:

a) A local folder gets created and all the necessary binaries needed get
copied into that folder
b) All required DLLs get registered
c) A Windows Scheduled Task get created to fire off the application on a set
schedule

When I run the install by hand, all these steps happen, automatically
without any additional steps being required. However, when I have the
install happen via GPO the first two steps happen properly, but the Windows
Scheduled Task doesn't get created.

Any ideas why this would be happening? All the permissions appear to be
right, and the GPO is set to install the MSI with elevated privileges.

I wote the installer in InstallShield. I now realize that the Windows Task
Schedule action is being created by a command line wrapper that gets applied
AFTER the installer completes.

So I guess my new question is how can I fire off a scripted action,
immediately following the completion of an MSI istall, that is being applied
via GPO?
