I know nothing about scripting, and I’m trying to piece together a script to roll out Adobe Pro 9 to 100 workstations. I had a look at Orca, but that confused me and seemed overkill for what I want to achieve.
From some Googling, I’ve written a script with an application (Kaseya) that copies AcroPro.msi and data1.cab from the FS to \temp. From there it executes:
%windir%\system32\msiexec.exe /i #agentDrv#temp\AcroPro.msi -qn PIDKEY=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Now I have no firm understanding on how an .msi interacts with a .cab, but I assumed that it would need the .cab in the same dir and unpack it as it needed to. I’m sure I’m either missing something very basic, or it’s not possible at all. I’d love it if someone could point me in the right direction.
Cheers.
