Deploying Font MSI Through Group Policy

[JB7]

I have created a font .MSI this morning which contains a new font family that we are rolling out,

I have tested the .MSI by running it myself from the network share location, it installs successfully, the registry gets updated and the fonts are installed/usable

 

I have this afternoon created a test GPO and directed this at a small proportion of PC's (All our client PC's are Win7) to act as test subjects, once restarted these PC's load up and just before the Username/Password box they show that they are installing said .MSI and then the log in box appears.

However when I log in neither the registry has entries relating to the fonts nor is the font actually installed

 

I am wondering If I have possibly missed something obvious in the creation of my font installation GPO

 

The GPO is located in Computer Configuration > Software Settings > Software Installation and then the package has been added in to here

 

Please help

It doesn't update after a reboot does it? We don't roll out via an MSI admittedly, we use a script instead, but ours only takes effect after a reboot...

I may have to look at trying a script to roll out the fonts as my current method is still failing to work, even after a few restarts nothing happens

Have a look at this thread: http://www.edugeek.net/forums/windows-7/96317-installing-fonts-2.html and grab the FontCopy.vbs - worked for me!
