Well after some looking around I found out that the reason why the remote install wasnt working on some of the machines was because those ones had a older version of MSI Installer then the computer which was used to create and schedule the update from. So if anyone else ever comes across same problem just check the version of msi.dll on the problem computers and upgrade it to latest version.

Hi, I have recently made a script after looking around on the web to install Adobe Reader 8.1.1 on our network. After reading around I came up with the following 2 cmd files: AdobeDeploy.cmd @echo off echo %date% %time% Start of task > c:\test.log echo User=%UserName%, Path=%path% >> c:\test.log call Adobe8Install.cmd computer1 1>>c:\test.log 2>>c:\test.err call Adobe8Install.cmd computer2 1>>c:\test.log 2>>c:\test.err : : : call Adobe8Install.cmd computer x 1>>c:\test.log 2>>c:\test.err echo %date% %time% End of task >> c:\test.log pause AdobeInstall.cmd @echo off echo "checking for Installers directory on the target..." > c:\test2.log if not exist \\%1\C$\installers mkdir \\%1\C$\installers echo "copying Adobe Reader install to install directory..." >> c:\test2.log copy \\NetworkShared\Software\adobeInstall\*.* \\%1\C$\installers\ echo "Installing Adobe Reader..." >> c:\test2.log psexec.exe \\%1 "c:\installers\Setup.exe" /sAll /rs rem Removing setup files... del \\%1\C$\installers\abcpy.INI del \\%1\C$\installers\AcroRead.msi del \\%1\C$\installers\AcroRead.mst del \\%1\C$\installers\Data1.cab del \\%1\C$\installers\Setup.exe del \\%1\C$\installers\setup.INI echo "All Done." >> c:\test2.log *mainly with info from this site: http://sojoe.info/2006/04/20/adobe-reader-silent-install/ The above code copys the files from a network shared folder to local machine, then runs the Setup.exe file which was created using the adobe customisation wizard. After installing, it removes these files from the local machine. This code does work as it installed adobe on some of the machines, on some machines I got the message: c:\installers\Setup.exe exited on computer-y with error code 3010. This is not a problem as it means that computer requires a restart. But the problem I am getting is on some computers I get the message: c:\installers\Setup.exe exited on computer-z with error code 100. I tried looking around the net for what this message means but have had no luck. On the microsoft website for msiexec error codes it does not even have error code 100. So anyone on here that know what this error code means, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Robi
