It looks correct if you want to install an MSI named messenger.msi silently from the \Packages\wirelessclient on a server named sjmhfs.

I didn't realize you replied until just now, I didn't notice the 2nd page. As for an update, I think I am scraping the vbscript. While It appears to work because I do not receive pop error messages anymore, it doesn't uninstall or install anything. I think I am just going to stick with my batch file and push it through sms. I think sms will after all suppress the black box.

I know this is an old post but since I came across it doing some research for uninstalling an installshield app I thought I would post what worked for me.

First, looking in the registry I found this uninstall command.

c:\windows\ISuninst.exe -f"c:\program files\FasterCS\Uninst.isu"
Add -a to it and run from the command line works like a charm.
c:\windows\ISuninst.exe -f"c:\program files\FasterCS\Uninst.isu" -a

Now, try to get the quotes to work properly, that is always fun.

here is my script header, barebones header at that.

Using the examples in this thread I have the below line that I tested, but kept getting a could not find file error.

"""" & WinFolder & "\IsUninst.exe -a -y -f"" ""c:\program files\FasterCS\Uninst.isu"""

So, as was stated before, I used echo to get what the line looked like, and this is what i got

"c:\windows\ISuninst.exe -a -y -f" "c:\program files\FasterCS\Uninst.isu"

Notice the extra " and space after the -f the correct command would look like
c:\windows\ISuninst.exe -a -y -f"c:\program files\FasterCS\Uninst.isu"

Here is the code that worked for me.
