Need to Install .exe and .msi from network

[beatstalker]

I need to Install a prerequisite pack for another application across the LAN, unfortunately this pack contains a mixture of MS exe's and msi's.I cant repackage
it all in to one msi becauase as stated by MS this cannot be done.

I need a VBS to grab these files from a network location and install via SMS.

Any help would be really appreciated

install via SMS.

You should be able to deploy each package via SMS. Why try to make them one package? Use SMS to deploy the smaller parts. VBScript should have nothing to do with it at that point.

If you want a pure vbscript solution and want to avoid SMS then that would be possible. Do the packages offer silent installs?

I hope you find this post helpful.
