os 2008 R2 sp2

I have disabled UAC completely , confirmed this by launching a standard cmd prompt and cd C:\Windows\SysWOW64\config

as per http://blog.pythonaro.com/2013/05/fully-disable-user-access-control-uac.html

When i run the following , nothing happens , as i am running psexec , this is not the double hop issue , the files make it to the server.

I am attempting to run a local exe on the target server , the psexec is simply to run the copy command , the double hop has been sorted and the files make it to the local server

the exe does not kick off but does when i enter the session interactive and run the exe call and arg

$complist =@("server1","server2")
$server = "sourcefileserver"


	function NewLogin($computer)
	{
		$session = new-pssession -computername $computer  -Authentication Kerberos
		return $session
	}
	Function Func_installSoft($Computer)
	{
		$session = NewLogin $Computer
		$scriptblock={
		c:\install\vcredist_x64.exe /passive
		}
	Invoke-Command -session $session -ScriptBlock $scriptblock
	Remove-PSSession -session $session
}
foreach($element in $complist)
{
psexec \\$element -s robocopy "\\$server\Documents\install\" "c:\Install"
Func_installSoft $element
}

If i run the following interactively , the install runs fine ,  Logically i am doing exactly the same thing right?

$comp = "qual29web001"
$session = new-pssession -computername $comp -Authentication Kerberos
$sessions = get-pssession
$sessionid = $sessions.ID[0]
enter-pssession $sessionid 
c:\install\vcredist_x64.exe /passive
exit
remove-pssession *

Any help is much appreciated  , the install is a rollup for visual studio

I definitely would not recommend disabling UAC. That is a very bad idea.
