Forced Installation with User Interaction at Deployment Deadline

$

Hi,

I have an application that needs to be deployed to all clients. As the setup does not have a switch to prevent a reboot and reboots the system immediately, I'm notifying the user with a messeage box (setup is wrapped in a vbs script).

Until deadline is reached, Software Center shows "Software changes required by IT Department" and if the user click's the balloon and start the installation from Software Center list, everything is fine, script is running in system context and user gets the messagebox, presses OK and system reboots.

When deadline is reached, Software Center starts the installation but never shows the message box, scripts is running in system context but not showing the messagebox, I can see wscript.exe running, of course Software Center runs in timeout. Installation failed.

When changing setting "Allow user to interact with installation" in deployment type, the installation is not starting automatically, Software Center just shows "Software changes required by IT Department" and the user has to start the installation manually. Makes no different if deadline is reached or not :-(

What can I do to force an installation at deadline with user interaction?
