ixy Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Hello!I want to create a batch file that will call another batch file that installs an application. I think i am almost there but having a small problem. call: x:\\xxxxx\xxxxxx\xxxxxx\xxxxxxx\ AdobeUpdates\accrobat 7.0 pro install.bat is what I have at the moment. The resource is on a network drive that all users have access to. Appreciate any input Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andromeda43 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Put the install file for Adobe Acrobat Reader on a removable media such as a CD or thumb drive and install it directly from the removable drive. that will save you lots of time and trouble.I do that almost every day. Just did it today as a matter of fact.Cheers!Andromeda43 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aegis Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 (edited) I think you're missing quotation marks. Shouldn't it be call "x:\\xxxxx\xxxxxx\xxxxxx\xxxxxxx\AdobeUpdates\accrobat 7.0 pro install.bat"? Edited August 31, 2006 by Aegis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacesurfer Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 call: x:\\xxxxx\xxxxxx\xxxxxx\xxxxxxx\ AdobeUpdates\accrobat 7.0 pro install.batAlso, you don't need : after call if that is exactly how you have it. It should be:call "x:\\xxxxx\xxxxxx\xxxxxx\xxxxxxx\AdobeUpdates\accrobat 7.0 pro install.bat" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
