"Distribute Always"-Application runs only once

[Ulrich Eggert]

I've created the flwg rather simple application:

Distribution Options:
- two registry keys to be edited every time the user logs in
- the key entries are marked "Create always" and "Distribute always"
- additionally I have marked "Distribute always" in "Options"

Run Options:
- "Install only"
- "Run application once" NOT checked
- "Run as secure system user"

NO Distribution Rules
The application is workstation associated and set on "Force Run".

In spite of all the aforementioned settings it will run only once and never
again. If I increase the Version Number it will run one more time and that's
it. Having the application's icon on the desktop will let it run when
choosing "Verify".

Anyone with a clue?

I think you have a cart before the horse problem.

If you have the application set to be workstation associated, and run as
system secure user,
it is going to run under the SYSTEM scope (thus it is not going to wait
until a user logs in to run.. and the app won't know what user your
intending to run it as).

Remove the 'run as secure system user', and click the option (Should be on
distribution tab) for Run as user if workstation associated.
This is assuming you are trying to push out reg entries to the HKCU hive.

Greg,
tksalot fr ur reply, expecially fr explaining the implications of
workstation association. I like the "cart before the horse" comparison :-)
Actually the application is to edit the HKLM hive, which is the reason why I
kept away from the option "Force run as user". I now gave it a try AND kept
the option "Run as secure system user". It did the trick! Thanks again.

Brgds,
