Not sure if anyone can help or if this belongs here:
I've been trying to package three Adobe patches and 1 security update using SMS 2003. The batch file I created works outside of SMS but when I run it from SMS it doesn't any ideas?
I've tried all the following:
msiexec /update Update1.msp;update2.msp;update3.msp /qb!
msiexec.exe /passive /norestart ALLUSERS=2 /m MSIV7CZ0 /i "AcrobatReaderUpd812_SU1_all.msi"

msiexec /patch Update1.msp;update2.msp;update3.msp /qb!
msiexec.exe /passive /norestart ALLUSERS=2 /m MSIV7CZ0 /i "AcrobatReaderUpd812_SU1_all.msi"

msiexec /p acrobatupd810_efgj_incr.msp
msiexec /p acrobatupd811_all_incr.msp
msiexec /p acrobatupd812_all_incr.msp
msiexec.exe /passive /norestart ALLUSERS=2 /m MSIV7CZ0 /i "AcrobatReaderUpd812_SU1_all.msi"

msiexec /p AcrobatUpd810_efgj_incr.msp /q
msiexec /p AcrobatUpd811_all_incr.msp /q
msiexec /p acrobatupd812_all_incr.msp /q

I think the reason you are having issues is that these are all relative paths in the batch file and they cannot be used in SMS. Try somethin like this:

msiexec /p "%~dp0acrobatupd810_efgj_incr.msp "
msiexec /p "%~dp0acrobatupd811_all_incr.msp"
msiexec /p "%~dp0acrobatupd812_all_incr.msp"
msiexec.exe /passive /norestart ALLUSERS=2 /m MSIV7CZ0 /i "%~dp0AcrobatReaderUpd812_SU1_all.msi"

the %~dp0 in a batch file says "insert current path here". Always remember to use the quotes aroung the whole file path in case it contains spaces.

first off make sure you are downloading to the client cache. Adobe patches are problematic with run from a share
here is our patch.bat. We download to the cache and run this batch file, no problems.

If we do have a problem then run it with a /log and if there is a problem we can't fix then we are forced to run it manually on the machine or allow the user to interact and let them step through the patch install and this will work.

------------
msiexec /p AcrobatUpd810_efgj_incr.msp /qb /norestart
msiexec /p AcrobatUpd811_all.msp /qb /norestart
msiexec /p "8.1.2 patch.msp" /qb /norestart
-----------------------------------

I just built a package in Wise Script Editor to deploy Adobe 8.1.1, 8.1.2, and the Security patch by using command lines like this:

msiexec /p "AcrobatUpd811_all_incr.msp" /n {PRODUCT CODE} /qn /L* C:\AdobeUpd811.log
msiexec /p "AcrobatUpd812_all_incr.msp" /n {PRODUCT CODE} /qn /L* C:\AdobeUpd812.log
msiexec /i "AcrobatReaderUpd812_SU1_all.msi" /qn /L* C:\AdobeSecUpd.log

Look for the product code in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\AdobeVERSIONYOU USE

All worked like a charm!
Hope this helps.

Thanks everyone who responded. I've tested mhudson's solution on a few PCs and it appears to work great. Thank you
