I have activate a GPO to install msi appl. As to what I know, it should
install only when the computers restarts.
However now I'm having users complaining that the installation starts
without restarting the computers.

| Folder Redirection and Software Installation Policies
| Note that when Fast Logon Optimization is on, a user might need to log on

| installation policies are applied. This occurs because the application of
| these types of policies requires the synchronous policy application.
| During a policy refresh (which is asynchronous), the system sets a flag
| indicating that the application of folder redirection or a software
| installation policy is required. The flag forces synchronous application
| of the policy at the user's next logon.

| In addition, software installation and folder redirection processing
| occurs only during computer startup or user logon. This is because
| background processing could cause undesirable results.
Starts the software application shortly after login, so that it seems
to be in the background?
