Because you have spaces in your filename, it will fail, they need to be "quoted" e.g.

:WordViewer
if exist "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\WORDVIEW.exe" goto:ExelViewer
\\172.21.96.13\Updates\SoftwareInstall\wdviewer /q
:ExelViewer
\\172.21.96.13\Updates\SoftwareInstall\xlviewer /q

:PowerPointViewer2007
if exist "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\PPTVIEW.exe" goto:AcrobatReader 8
\\172.21.96.13\Updates\SoftwareInstall\powerpointviewer /quiet

:AcrobatReader 8
if exist "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\AcroRd32.exe" GOTO:end
\\172.21.96.13\Updates\SoftwareInstall\AdbeRdr80_en_US /sAll
