Hi all,
Suppose I have a GPO that I deploy an msi-package with, and I also have a
startup-script in the same GPO. Which of them gets run first? The msi or the
script?
Reason for this question is that I'd like to remove the desktop-icon the msi
creates. So far no tweaking of the msi has helped, so I revert to a rather
crude method of running a conditional test in the startup-script to test for
if the programname.lnk exists in %allusersprofile%\Desktop-folder. If it does,
it deletes it quietly.
Obviously, if the script is run before the msi, there won't be a
desktop-shortcut to remove and therefore the icon won't be removed until the
next time the computer is rebooted. Thus the question of execution order.
TIA.
