JB7 Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 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
Meldrew Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 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... Meldrew
