Thanks Tomcat76 for the reply. What I meant by it? "All the correct entries are in the registry, but it never starts." Is that runonceex does not execute, but all the entries are in the registry for runonceex. I did notice that the "TITLE" subkey gets removed. I have just checked my HFANSWER.INI and I haven't entered IE7SVCPACK=1 I don't have an IE7SVCPACK= entry my HFANSWER.INI. Could this possibly cause any problems? But IE7 does install at the first GUI logon. Maybe I should run the IE7 installation from runonceex as the last application to run, after all the other applications have been run from runonceex. Anyway thanks for the help.
