Deploying Adobe Reader X Silently while accounting for dependent files
How do i deploy an .msi if the msi has dependent files and the msi requires attributes???
So if i manually run the msi from a network location, it works fine. So i know its setup correctly. The catch is that this .mst file and a .cab files needs to be in the same folder as the .msi. Below is the correct command to silently install the program.
msiexec /i AcroRead.msi TRANSFORMS=AcroRead.mst /qn
The other thing is that i can redirect the .mst file from the above command but i cant redirect the .cab file. So how do i fix this?
The only thing i've come close to getting is zipping the three files and launching the msi. but i dont know how to apply the above attributes if i go about it that way.
any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are you facing any challenges in keeping the .cab and other dependent files along with .msi. .mst files..
If you are running this from a MI, here's how you would do that:
Zip all the files together (If they are in a folder, click into the folder and zip there.)
Upload the package to your software inventory item. (You get this by installing on a test system and forcing a check in)
Create a MI with your install command. (If you use msiexec in the command line, you need to check the box for "don't prepend msiexec".
Give it a shot and let me know if you still have problems.
