I am fairly new to SMS and I have been trying to deploy IBM's iSeries Access for Windows v5r3 via SMS 2003 SP1 to my Windows 2000 SP4 desktops. My attempts to repackage it using AdminStudio for SMS and SMS Installer have not been successful. However, going through IBM's documentation it says that I can create an answer file (.iss) and run setup.exe -s to run a silent installation of the application. So, I created a package that ran setup.exe -s and it runs, the only problem is that when the system restarts it tells the user that they must be an administrator in order for the installation to complete; eventhough "run with administrative rights" is selected in the package properties. In our environment most users do not have local admin rights to their PC's. Has anyone had any success deploying this application?

iSeries Access v5r3 installation problem

When you recorded the answer file (.iss), did the program prompt for restart?
If yes, was it possible NOT to reboot.
If yes, try recreating the answer file choosing not to restart and in your SMS program specify that SMS Restarts the Computer.
