I’m trying to build an Adobe Acrobat Reader installer task that includes the latest patch file and a custom transform. The needed files are contained in the folder “Reader”. It performs a perfect silent install from the command line. When I try to deploy via a BigFix task I get this error:
It looks like you are missing a back slash between opsite212 and __download in your path opsite212__Download. How are you defining the path to the msi and msp when in your wait command because it doesn’t look like the action is building the path to the file correctly.
I modified the action statement after the prefetch block to:
wait “{pathname of system folder & “\msiexec.exe”}” /i “(pathname of client folder of current site) & “__Download\Reader\AcroPro.msi”” PATCH=“(pathname of client folder of current site) & “__Download\Reader\AcroRdrDCx64Upd2400120615_MUI.msp”” TRANSFORMS=AcroPro.mst /qn
This statement evaluates successfully in the debugger. The 1619 error is gone and the log says:

Encrypted Report posted successfully
The task now reports “Running”, never completes, and the app fails to install on the client.
From your logs, it looks like you’re not using the relevance substitution tags { } around pathnames you construct from the ‘client folder of current site’ relevance statements
