Status: offline Does anyone know if there is a good way to pass error codes from an MSI or other external application from a VBScript to SMS? We have done several packages that basically call and MSI along with some other customizations, and would like to have an accurate count as to whether the installation of the MSI went well or not.
Thanks!

On Error Resume Next
Set sho = Wscript.CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
strCurrentDir = Left(Wscript.ScriptFullName, (InstrRev(Wscript.ScriptFullName, "\") -1))
strCommand = "msiexec.exe /i " & chr(34) & strCurrentDir & "\widgets.msi" & chr(34) &_
TRANSFORMS=" & chr(34) & strCurrentDir & "\widgets.mst" & chr(34) &_
" REBOOT=ReallySuppress /l*v c:\wdgt.log /qb-!"
intRet = sho.run(strCommand,0,True)
wscript.quit(intRet)
