problems using process() for remote installation

Hi all,
i am trying to use my vb.net programm to install a list of other
programms,
which are located on a server.
Some of the programms are being installed, others like office xp or
office
2003 not.
They quit with an event id 11708, which has apparently something to do
with
the MSI Installer. (?) I couldn't find a working solution..
I used following code to execute the exe files

Dim prog As New System.Diagnostics.Process()

prog.startInfo.FileName = \\myserver\setup.exe
prog.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = False
prog.start()
prog.WaitForExit()

Thanks chris
