7th day and kix scripting and counting 
I'd like to thank kixtart.org first, they've supplied answers to many of my initial questions..especially the posters on this board (ie "searching").I'd like for it to search for the Adobe reg key, and if not present install Adobe...but it's JUST NOT WORKING...it always runs the .exe no the outcome. Some help would be surely appreciated.
;Look for Adobe, if not installed install it...
$AKey = KeyExist ("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe")
IF @ERROR = 1
? "Adobe is present.."
GOTO IEINSTALL
ELSE ;Adobe is not present, install it....
RUN "\\Elmo\Common\Software\Applications\Acrobat Reader\rs405eng.exe"
Sleep ( 20 )
Setfocus ("Acrobat Reader 4.05 Setup")
Sendkeys ("{ENTER} {ENTER}")
Sleep ( 10 )
Sendkeys ("{ENTER}")
:IEINSTALL
