I have scripted the Ethereal installation with the Windows Installer
program and compiled a .msi script.

When this is pushed out with SMS (which installs the program under a SMS
account with local admin rights) on an XP workstation.

Neither a normal user (has zippo rights) nor an account with local admin
rights can not run it.  It will not autodetect the NIC card on the PC

BUT.  If I run the msi under the local admin rights account, the card is
detected and when a no rights user then logs on and runs the program, the
card is also detected.

Any suggestions as to what may be different between running this script
under a generic SMS account with local rights and running it under another
account with local admin rights.

I have tried comparing registry and file differences between the two
installs but can find nothing unusual.

I need an answer ASAP
