Looking at the above script I pasted, I believe this is the section where the magic happens. Function install ReturnVal = ObjShell.run ("msiexec /I ""OutlookAddinSetup.msi"" /qn /lve ""C:\Program Files\GPT\logging\RoomViewFusion.log""", 0, True) If Not (ReturnVal = 0 Or ReturnVal = 3010) then LogError("RoomViewFusion! ReturnCode:" & ReturnVal) 'ReturnVal = ObjShell.run ("regedit /s settings.reg", 0, True) 'If Not (ReturnVal = 0 Or ReturnVal = 3010) then LogError("RoomViewFusion! ReturnCode:" & ReturnVal) End Function The script installs the new version and adds the reg settings but doesnt uninstall the old version in between. Any ideas how I can include a step in between the two to run this command? msiexec /x {205CFDD2-34CF-4141-93AA-55FCDB7BB012} /q

Hey Rocket Man, Thanks for the reply. Still no luck. This is the VBS script that I was left with that doesnt work. It installs the new software but I dont think it does it in the right order so it doesnt work. - Install new version - Uninstall old version - Add reg settings ----------------- Option Explicit Dim ObjShell, ReturnVal, ExistingVersion, ProductCode, objWMIService, objProcess, colProcess, ProcessesFound, temp, x, ProductNameTemp Set ObjShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") KillProcess("outlook.exe") install x= 0 Dim ProductName(0) ProductName(0) = "Crestron RoomView Outlook Addin" KillProcess("outlook.exe") 'Set ObjShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") For x=0 To UBound(ProductName) ProductNameTemp = ProductName(x) If Uninstall(GetProductCode(ProductNameTemp,32),ProductNameTemp,32) = "" Then If Uninstall(GetProductCode(ProductNameTemp,64),ProductNameTemp,64) = "" Then 'Error End If End if Next wscript.quit(ReturnVal) Function Uninstall(ProductCode, ProductName, Regtype) On Error Resume Next Dim ExistingVersion If ProductCode <> "" Then ObjShell.LogEvent 4, "Found " & ProductName & " - " & ProductCode & " in " & Regtype & "-Bit" ReturnVal = ObjShell.run ("Msiexec.exe /x " & ProductCode & " /qn reboot=reallysuppress /lve " & Chr(34) & "C:\Program Files\GPT\logging\Uninstall -" & ProductName & ".log" & Chr(34), 1, True) If Not (ReturnVal = 0 Or ReturnVal = 3010) then LogError("Could not Uninstall " & ProductName & "!")

When I run the BAT file on the machine locally, CMD appears for a brief second and then closes and shortly after an icon appears called MsiExec.exe After that nothing happens and the program does not appear in the add remove programs as it should. Any ideas? C:\Windows\System32>MsiExec.exe /i "\\SERVERNAME\smssource$\Roomview Fusion\OutlookAddinSetup.msi" /qn /norestart /log "C:\Program Files\XXX\logging\FusionTest2.log" C:\Windows\System32>MsiExec.exe\MsiExec.exe /x {205CFDD2-34CF-4141-93AA-55FCDB7BB012} /q regedit.exe /s \\SERVERNAME\smspkgg$\XXX0028B\settings.reg

Awesome thanks Keith, will do! Havent done much work with scripting before hence why I said im new to this stuff and came here to ask

With all due respect... I have NOOO idea what youre talking about

Hey Guys!!! I apologise in advance if this is a stupid question, I'm quite new to this stuff so please go easy on me I have been given the task of rolling out a software upgrade for a piece of company software. Basically what needs to happen is (in this order): 1. Install a file from an MSI ( I have been given the MSI file which is in the SMS server package store ) 2. Run this script "C:\Windows\System32>MsiExec.exe /x {205CFDD2-34CF-4141-93AA-55FCDB7BB012} /q" (uninstalls the old one) 3. Run this RegKey file "regedit.exe /s \\aumxxxxxxxxx\smspkgg$\xxxxxxxx\settings.reg" (Adds the server settings to the new one - ATTACHED) Is there anyway to compile all these steps into one package where it can follow these steps? There are also 2 .mst files in the folder which im unsure of how to open to see what they are. Let me know if you need any further information. Settings - ANG.txt
