This is working in testing so far. Needs cleanup and I'm going to add
centralized reporting. But in a nutshell, it works.
@echo on
cmd.exe /c MsiExec.exe /qn /norestart /x
{AC76BA86-7AD7-1033-7B44-A95000000001}
@echo off
echo "errorlevel = %errorlevel%"
if not "%errorlevel%" == "0" goto err
if "%errorlevel%" == "0" goto Success
:err
echo "Error: Msiexec failed with errorlevel = %errorlevel%"
exit /b %errorlevel%
:Success
cmd.exe /c msiexec /qn /norestart /i "\\corp\org\Install Point\Adobe
Reader\AIP9\AdbeRead.msi" TRANSFORMS="\\corp\org\Install Point\Adobe
Reader\AIP9\AcroRead.mst"
