When you pusblish(optinal adevrtisement) the advertisement to target computers,it uses the local system account to run the appliaction. BTW How are you setting the program properties ? run with admin rights or user rights ? If you look at program properties---environment tab---> you have options like run with administrative rights(whether or not user logged on) .This process will uses local system account to run the applications. More info from technet You can select option Run with user rights only if you select the program as "only when a user is logged in" .//Eswar Koneti @ http://eskonr.wordpress.com/

Why does it not work? Is the advertisement received on Win7 clients at all or is it rejected ("wrong platform")? Is the program started (execmgr.log)?
