Hello

I have problem with unattended/silent installation of MessengerPlus by  group policy. I use a script that is run on system startup (before logon) that first checks if msgplus.exe exists in any of typical directories, then runs installation from a network lacation with option /SilentInstallNoSponsor.

Everything is fine until the installation finishes and Messenger window is launched. Notice that it appears _before_ logon screen and installation somehow stalls (it is: Messenger window can be normally accessed but the script stops). Even if I close Messenger window, the script does not continue progress and startup is hanged until GPO script processing timeout comes (10min).
Additional problem is that this appears to be a security issue also - MessengerPlus has features (like task scheduler) that allow access to the system without logging in! I just ran Explorer from it and normal desktop appeared with enough rights to access anywhere ...

I know I could put the installation into user login script but I prefer it to be user-independent...
What is also strange is that some time ago, when I created all this automation mechanism (around version 2.5x I think), it worked...

Is there any other switch or way to prevent Messenger from launching after installation ?
