<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I used Adobe Customization Wizard to create a transform file for Adobe Reader 9. The reason is that if you try to upgrade Adobe Reader 9.1 or 9.2 clients with the MSI of 9.3.3, it says the product is already installed.<br />
<br />
However if you call the MSI with a transform that enables updating (in the transform file) then it's supposed to work.<br />
<br />
I cannot seem to call the MSI with the transform in a vbscript or batch command though for some reason.<br />
The MSI and transform file are on a \\network share in the same folder.

Run MSI with Transform

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.

Scripting Languages

Batch files are text files containing a script of commands that are executed by the command interpreter on DOS, OS/2 and Windows systems. Most commonly, they are used to perform a series of functions that are repeated -- copying a set of files created daily with one step, for example.

VBScript (Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is an interpreted scripting language developed by Microsoft that is modeled on Visual Basic, but with some important differences. VBScript is commonly used for automating administrative and other tasks in Windows operating systems (by means of the Windows Script Host) and for server-side scripting in ASP web applications. It is also used for client-side scripting in Internet Explorer, specifically in intranet web applications.
