Hi I need to do a company wide deployment of a new application. Our current procedure of deployment is to manually install the application in every workstation.
What I would like to know is, if there is a way to create an MSI script that will automatically run the installation package the next time the users start their computers.
If there is a way of doing this through MSI, how can I accomplish this?

The installation package is in the following path:
I:\CompApps\JobTracker
 
Well, sure there is a way to do it, but it isn't an MSI script, it's a login script that runs the MSI. Login scripts are designed to run stuff when the user logs in. I could fumble through a login script given the time, but the experts are in the Windows OS forum corresponding to the OS that you are using. I would look there.

here is another way use AD and publish the application
but the script will be just to point to the msi (UNC) and call it logon.bat and assigng it to all of the users accounts.
the ad way is cleaner though
