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

Why vbscript? Just run it as a batch file

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

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

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

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
