			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.photoscape.org">PhotoScape</a> is a really nice, simple, easy to use bit of FREE photo editing software. It offers a lot of basic features without ever complicating matters &#8211; ideal for people just learning to play with their photos, or anyone who just doesn&#8217;t want the hassle of having to learn a more complex piece of software.</p>
<p>To deploy this via group policy, you will need to use a startup script, as it is not possible to extract an MSI to use with the usual method. However it&#8217;s a really simple script so should be no problem to get it up and running.</p>
<p>Just share the installer executable somewhere on your server (we usually have a shared software directory for this purpose), and add the following to a startup script (replacing the path with the correct one for your situation, of course)&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;\\SVR\Software\PhotoScapeInstall\setup.exe&#8221; /S</p></blockquote>
<p>Note the upper-case S in the switch &#8211; it will not function with a lower-case S. This will install desktop and quick-launch shortcuts, which unfortunately there seems to be no way around. However, a good point is that it does not install Google Toolbar, which is an option selected by default if you use the wizard install.</p>
<p>Have fun!</p>
