On some machines, the fonts do not install, even though they do get copied
to the C:\Windows\Fonts folder.
The install runs through to the end, the SB execution is set as
requireAdministrator.
What am I missing?

Sim,

to install fonts, you need an UAC-aware installation system with support for
the specific Windows version (e.g. Windows 10 support for font installation
on Windows 10 machines). To install fonts, please mark the "Register as
True Type Font" file install option (I think you have it enabled).

If it does not register on some machines then these machines "block" the
register file operation. Similar to this:

Hope this helps a bit.

Thanks Friedrich.
I was unaware of the option!
