$Reader_Path2 = "D:\Iverson\PSScript\Reader\$Reader_Path"

$fileName = (Get-Item $Reader_Path2).Name

$File_Current_Version = [regex]::Match($fileName, '\d+').Value

The content of the scriptblock can be successfully installed on a single computer, but error code 87 is obtained when multiple computers are installed and executed.

    The "$scriptblock" uses a variable named "$tt" (defined outside the scriptblock) when msiexec.exe is executed, but that variable doesn't seem to be passed as a parameter to the scriptblock.

    The error code 87 from msiexec means "ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER 87 One of the parameters was invalid."
