I am trying to run a bat file to uninstall kb3097877 (that has broken Outlook) and it fails

The basic command is <wusa /uninstall /KB:3097877>  should be able to run with switches according to MS - <wusa /uninstall /KB:3097877 /quiet /forcestart>

Kace deploys script but does not run (even without the switches)
I have tried shell script and different users but keeps failing with an assortment of errors that internet has no answers for (does internet hate Kace? haha)

I have other scripts that still work.  This is such a simple script I cannot for the life of me see what's the issue ...
Suggestions?

Running as local system
Online Kscript

Server     Current Version: 6.4.119927
Agent     Available Version: 6.4.180

If these are 64 bit machines, it could be due to the client is 32bit so by default it will call the wusa.exe in syswow64 instead of the 64bit wusa in system32.  Use the full path to the wusa or call it using the sysnative variable.

This Windows update is crashing Powerpoint for most of my employees. I've created a quick online kscript which works fine. I push it to them and tell them to reboot when they can. On boot up PP doesn't crash anymore. All my Windows laptops are running Windows 7 Pro 64bit. My kbox and agents are fully up to date.
