Every time I push a custom MSI with TRANSFORMS it will never install, it either just sits in the task manager forever or it errors right away. The Setup.exe... dont even try, nothing but issues with 1935 as I work in a large enterprise domain and networking and sccm are always pushing updates and the PC's are always pending a restart or have something installing in the background. I have a MSI that, when kicked off locally installs like a dream, every time. Now with about 180 Acrobat installs to do, the goal is to kick them off silently from my station. I have placed the install files (complete) on all the PC's locally. So in theory I should just need to use psexec to kick them off via CMD, but it fails every time. So i was thinking that if I can call them on the local PC and everything is perfect, and psexec messes up my syntax across the network then what if I created a .BAT that has the syntax to call the local MSI when clicked. Its my understanding that anything you can do from a CMD prompt you should be able to do using .BAT. I have been unsuccessful in creating a .BAT that will very simply execute this command:
msiexec /I "c:\drivers\adobe acrobat XI\acropro.msi" TRANSFORMS="c:\drivers\adobe acrobat XI\Acropro.mst" /q
I don't know much about .bat scripting so it is surly me messing up. But I know that if I sit at the local PC and kick off that exact command using CMD it installs every time like a dream. So the theory is to place the install files on the local, and place a .bat on each users desktop. They then should be able to simply click the .bat and the installer should kick off and install silently, right? Can any please help me with the syntax for the .bat? I just need it to say "go install this MSI" THANKS SO MUCH!
