I'm experimenting with a script to uninstall acrobat 5 and install acrobat 6. Doing a search I stumbled onto http://www.kixtart.org/board/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=14;t=000834

The uninstall works fine. Only one strange thing in the uninstall script posted by Radimus.

(Complete code available at: http://www.kixtart.org/board/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=14;t=000834)
code:
shell "$uninstkey -q"
What does the -q option do (I guess it's an option for a quit uninstall or something)? If I remove it nothing changes in the way the script runs or the way acrobat 5 uninstalls (lots of user input required).

I also added a piece of script (based on Radimus example posted at the top of this page) to install acrobat 6 after acrobat 5 uninstall is done. This part should run unattended but nothing happens. Below I included my code. Anyone any ideas? All files ussed by the script are present in the folder.

code:
[cut]
Shell '\\server\share\msiexec.exe /q ALLUSERS=2 /m MSILA3H3 /i "Adobe Reader 6.0.msi'
[/cut]
