Again, check the Windows DACL on the local repo directory down to the actual files. If you have "interesting" inheritable DACL, that can lead to lots of fun behaviour. >>Again, it should just work the way you were trying, but something's >>interfering. > > Probably, but I would need more information to prove it.

I've been at the receiving end of group policies gone wild, but your symptoms don't seem to click with that. You might try to rename setup.exe to something entirely else, lest somebody targeted certain program names. > I forgot to mention that we are using Windows 7 and I don't know if > the setup behaves different on that operating system. I still have the odd Win7 box here and there around, I don't think that this makes any difference.
