Hi Keith, Your script worked like a charm. My apologies for not trying this when you first suggested it. My lack of understanding what you were doing was responsible for my hesitation.
Thank you so much for your assistance. Also, I am interested if anyone knows any easy to understand books on scripting for novices or internet courses that will help with learning how to create scripts?

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?

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.
