Hi,I suggest deploying the software via GPO instead of through login scripts. If you invoke the installation via login scripts, your users must have administrative rights on their machines whereas they do not need this right if you deploy the application using GPOs. The following

Hi ,Please find below sample of script used to install software but I recommend to use it as startup script not logon script to avoid adding the user in local admin group
But the below line in notepad and then change the extension to Bat or CMD
(msiexec.exe /install "\\test\CLIENT\test.msi" /quiet /norestart )
Please copy of the source in shared folder and use the above line ( quiet switch used to make the software installed in silent mode and norestart switch to prevent any restart if software installation
if you don’t have msi package and you have exe package you can use the below line instead of the one above
\\test\test.EXE
Note : the script will depend on the software you need to install
