Mark-

The synchronous foreground message is normal for an XP machine processing
software installation policy, because XP is set by default for asynchronous
foreground processing and software installation requires a synchronous
foreground event. I suspect that if you reboot one or two more times, that
the package will get installed. If you want to avoid this in the future, you
can enable the following policy on your XP machines:

 
Configuration Configuration\Admin Templates\System\Logon\Always wait for the
network for computer startup and logon

Subject: [gptalk] help installing MSIs

I'm new to using GPO to install MSI packages.  I have setup a GPO just for
this.  When the computer starts up it looks like it is processing the GPO
and attempting to install the package.  But in the event viewer are 3
warnings with event IDs 101, 103 and 108.  They seem to have something to do
with a synchronous foreground refresh. 

What am I missing?  Is it something set in a different GPO that is stopping
this?
