As I mentioned earlier, be aware of smart quotes, your first example below
will fail due to that problem.
This is one of the concerns about writing custom batch scripts, is how to
gather debugging information from a production installation
Additionally, I would modify the batch script to have the log file written
to a writable location, rather than the current network share:
@if not defined debug echo off
if /i "%PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%%PROCESSOR_ARCHITEW6432%"=="x86" (
msiexec /i "%~dps0SEP_12.1.4013.4013_32bit\Sep.msi" /qn /L*V
%temp%\SEP.log SYMREBOOT=Suppress
) else (
msiexec /i "%~dps0SEP_12.1.4013.4013_64bit\Sep64.msi" /qn /L*V
%temp%\SEP.log SYMREBOOT=Suppress
)
Then. check the %temp%\SEP.log file for what *REALLY* failed. Is the package
really there? Are the relative paths wrong? Etc.

Subject: [scripting] MDT scripting / command line issue
Hi All,
I know almost nothing about scripting, so I just wanted to get that out
there.
I have an MDT server where I want to set up SEP in application Deployment.
Below is the scripts I have tried:
@echo off
IF "%ProgramFiles(x86)%"=="C:\Program Files (x86)" goto x64 else goto x86
:x86
ECHO System is x86
msiexec /i "%~dp0SSEP_12.1.4013.4013_32bit\Sep.msi" /qn /L*V log.txt
SYMREBOOT=Suppress
goto exit
:x64
ECHO System is x64
msiexec /i "%~dp0SSEP_12.1.4013.4013_64bit\Sep64.msi" /qn /L*V log.txt
SYMREBOOT=Suppress
goto exit
:exit
-------------and------------
@echo off
IF "%ProgramFiles(x86)%"=="C:\Program Files (x86)" goto x64 else goto x86
:x86
ECHO System is x86
msiexec /i SEP_12.1.4013.4013_32bit\Sep.msi /qn /L*V log.txt
SYMREBOOT=Suppress
goto exit
:x64
ECHO System is x64
msiexec /i SEP_12.1.4013.4013_64bit\Sep64.msi /qn /L*V log.txt
SYMREBOOT=Suppress
goto exit
:exit
The command lines have varied quite a bit. But I started with:
Cmd.exe /c sep_install.bat
The source/working directory in MDT on the software package is:
.\Applications\Symantec_Endpoint_Protection
The best I have been able to do is get the script to start (it opens a DOS
window) then identifies the OS, but it dies right there. Sometimes with no
error or return code, sometimes with a return code: 1.
I am totally at my wits end here as no combination of commands is working.
(Lack of knowledge is the problem)
Any help would sure be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

Be aware of smart quotes.
Additionally, be aware that if you had one bad software package that was
installed to c:\program files (x86) on a x86 system it would fail.
If you want to get cute.
@if not defined debug echo off
if /i "%PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%%PROCESSOR_ARCHITEW6432%"=="x86" (
msiexec /i "%~dps0SEP_12.1.4013.4013_32bit\Sep.msi" /qn /L*V log.txt
SYMREBOOT=Suppress
) else (
msiexec /i "%~dps0SEP_12.1.4013.4013_64bit\Sep64.msi" /qn /L*V
log.txt SYMREBOOT=Suppress
)

Always use %~dp0 when calling files from a .bat file, especially when
running from the network.
@echo off
IF "%ProgramFiles(x86)%"=="C:\Program Files (x86)" goto x64 else goto x86
:x86

Subject: [MDT-OSD] Can't seem to get Symantec Endpoint Protection to install
via MDT 2012
Hi All,
I have been having a heck of a time trying to get SEP to install. I have
imported the installation files for both 32bit and 64bit (in separate
folders) along with a .bat file to run them from MDT. The bat file is:
@echo off
IF "%ProgramFiles(x86)%"=="C:\Program Files (x86)" goto x64 else goto x86
:x86
ECHO System is x86
msiexec /i SEP_12.1.4013.4013_32bit\Sep.msi /qn /L*V log.txt
SYMREBOOT=Suppress
goto exit
:x64
ECHO System is x64
msiexec /i SEP_12.1.4013.4013_64bit\Sep64.msi /qn /L*V log.txt
SYMREBOOT=Suppress
goto exit
:exit
I have tried many different command lines which have all resulted in either
a white completion window with no errors or a yellow completion window with
a return code: 1. The command I have in there right now is:
cmd.exe /c \\
<file:///\\"servername"\mdt\applications\Symantec_Endpoint_Protection\sep_in
stall.bat>
"servername"\mdt\applications\Symantec_Endpoint_Protection\sep_install.bat
I have also copied the install folder to the desktop of a test machine and
it ran fine.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Dave
