Batch Scripting With Windows 2000 MSI packages

I was wondering if anyone can point me in the direction to where i could get information on this .



I want to be able to run a batch file to install all the spefic software for one machine . All the software is located on server and they are all MSI packages . After each install it would need to reboot and log it in a text file saying that it was installed .


Any suggestions please let me know
 
you could write a logon/bootup script to do this. you would need to track what has been installed, and what hasn't. you could write that info to the registry or a text file. then when the script run's it queries the text file or registry, and runs the next msi and reboots. Vbscript would probably be your best bet at this.
 
Do you know anysoftware that would let me do this

Here maybe i should explain myself more


I have 5 msi packages on a server.

I want to have 1 file that will log into the servre mapp the drive , install msi package , record it in a text file , reboot the machine and then start the install of the next file .


I mean i sorta have a one i had tried to write now but it doesnt work correctly any suggestions ?
 
you could look into group policy in active directory, or use something like delta deploy center from power quest. SMS and Intel LANDesk would also work.
