Welcome to the AutoIt forum mcolvin2005!

just for next time, using code tags when putting your code on the forum like so: [ autoit ] code goes here [ /autoit ] (remove the spaces) will greatly help the clarity of your code.

Give this a try:

MsgBox(0, "HR Kiosk Setup", "Please click OK to automatically start the HR Kiosk.",5)

DirCreate ( "C:\Temp\" )
fileinstall("avoid.mpg","C:\Users\Public\Videos\" & "avoid.mpg",1)
fileinstall("Office Uninstall.msi",@UserProfileDir & "\Office Uninstall.msi",1)
fileinstall("Safety Serve Inc.url",@DesktopCommonDir & "\Safety Serve Inc.url",1)
fileinstall("SkillPort.url",@DesktopCommonDir & "\SkillPort.url",1)
fileinstall("Avoid.lnk",@DesktopCommonDir & "\Avoid.lnk",1)

The file attributes on an existing file may prevent the file from being overwritten. Use FileDelete() or FileSetAttrib() to ensure the file can be installed without issue.

EDIT: Also, you might need to actually put the full path of the file to install, instead of just the name of the file.

Don't place them in C:Usersusername, that's not a good place to put installation files. Put them in the temp folder and you shouldn't have any admin issues there.

that unfortunately didn't make any difference... when i run the script as an admin it works fine is there anyway to run part of the script as a local admin account and then have the one line ran as the user?

Any chance you could give a try to BrewMan's suggested solution? You even created a temp folder, just not putting anything into it.

EDIT: easy way of making a temp dir:

$Dir = @TempDir
MsgBox(0, "Result", $Dir)
ShellExecute($Dir)

so the files that i'm installing are url shortcuts and a shortcut to the video that i'm placing in c:userspublicvideo

reason for the script is so an end user can download the file from the intranet and run.. and have the icons and video automatilc placed

or is there a different way to do what i'm trying to do?

[MikahS]

So you want to share these files with everyone on your intranet?

[mcolvin2005]

right, so the end user will goto the intranet click the exe and download it for the type of computer they are setting up

in this example i'm using our hr kiosk as the example script so for our hr kiosk we need to have 2 URL shortcuts created on the public desktop (so the end user can't delete them) also need a sexual harasment video loaded into the public video folder with a shortcut to the video on the public desktop again so end user can't delete)

and then i need Office Uninstall.msi please on the end users desktop to run so office is not installed on the computer

Maybe installing them into the temp directory and then doing a FileMove to put them in the places you want (public video dir and public desktop).

Maybe running your script as an administrator could help as well. It seems like it might be a group policy setting that could be stopping you.
