we sometimes roll out software using batch files as some msi's dont always work using group policy, and its easier than faffing about recreating an msi

Why even run as a batch file? Do it via gpo software installer as its an msi.

This is only 1 very small part of the program - vbs seemed the most appropriate for what I want...

Dont worry guys, got it:

Dim objShell
Set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

oShell.Run "c:\CrystalReports2005x86.msi /quiet /passive /norestart",0, True

Set oShell = Nothing

Hi everyone, hopefully some clever person will have the answer :)

I'm trying to run this script:

msiexec /i "c:\EXAMPLE.msi" /quiet

But I'm getting this error:

Line: 1
Char: 9
Error: Syntax error
Code: 800A03EA
Source: Microsoft VBScript compilation error

Its only a syntax error but I've tried everything I can think of to fix it... Any help would be highly appreciated
