ShellExecute ( "msiexec.exe", '/i "\\server\path\Adobe\Adobe Reader 11.0.0.2\AcroRead.msi TRANSFORMS=acroread.msp" /qn' )
Sleep ( 15000 )
ShellExecute ( "msiexec.exe", '/i "\\server\path\Adobe\Adobe Reader 11.0.0.2\AdbeRdrUpd11001.mst" /qb /norestart /qn' )
Sleep (10000)
ShellExecute ( "msiexec.exe", '/i "\\server\path\Adobe\Adobe Reader 11.0.0.2\AdbeRdrSecUpd11002.msp" /qb /norestart /qn' )
The above script, no matter what it seems that I try to do, will not work. First of all, I am by no means anywhere a pro at AutoIT. I've recently started using it and trying to learn it, but seem to be failing. I've googled and looked at the forums here, but haven't seen anyone posting anything for Reader 11.0.0.2.
So, this is the order of events that I've tried:
1) The above script, I've tried various things, with no success. The only way the first line ShellExecute ( "msiexec.exe", '/i "\\server\path\Adobe\Adobe Reader 11.0.0.2\AcroRead.msi TRANSFORMS=acroread.msp" /qn' ) would work, was if I took out the TRANSFORM=acroread.mst. But, the 2 updates wouldn't install (actually, I don't think the updates installed no matter what).
Now, I've created a .bat file with the same commands as above and it works (even the updates will install). But I didn't want to use a batch file because I'm distributing Reader XI to over 500 computers and didn't want to interrupt what the users where doing with a command prompt and then getting all those calls.
2) As stated earlier, I can get the initial file to install (without TRANSFORMS), but the updates don't seem to execute. So if I load up Reader after installs, it shows on the splash screen "Reader 11.0.0".
3) Is the "Sleep" command even necessary?
All of the computers (at this moment) that I'm trying to install the new Acrobat Reader on, are Windows XP. The computer that I'm creating the AutoIT file from is Windows 7 x64 (I know that doesn't make a difference, but I'm just trying to think of all the information someone would ask, so they can assist with this).
The whole reason I need the TRANSFORMS statement is because I used the Adobe Customization XI utility. I've removed the EULA, some shortcuts, silent install, etc....
Any suggestions?
Thanks for any help.
