Scripting

if the silentinstall.msp file is located in your updates folder, you may need to have the command run setup.exe /adminfile updates\silentinstall.msp - DaveMT 6 years ago

It must have to do with my syntax and the network install. by putting the admin file in the updates folder you can just run the command setup.exe and it runs using that file. if I copy my office folder to the desktop and run it, it runs fine. but trying to run it from my network fails. example: c:\steve\desktop\win2010\setup.exe, works fine.
but \\files\software\win2010\setup.exe files is the name of the server, just brings up the window showing the commands I can use. I would really like to keep the folder on the software share if I can - bockster1 6 years ago

Make sure you are mapping a letter to that share drive first.
Run your script from that network share.
Then use another bat file script to remove the mapped letter - Channeler 6 years ago

just tried that. still error that can not find file. All my other apps are in the same share and they work ok. Microsoft lync, java, flash, internal applications. I'll keep trying. Just found out my Adobe reader is doing the same thing. I'm sure it is something stupid I am missing. I'll keep trying. thanks for responding - bockster1 6 years ago
