Hi guys,
i'm trying to silently install Dynamics 365 on my win 2016 server VM. I downloaded installation iso from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=57478. I'm logged with domain account which is in local "Administrators" group (at the same time i'm even Domain Admin) so permissions shall not be issue.
When i mount this iso, start cmd as admin and trigger E:\Server\amd64\SetupServer.exe /qn /config C:\\install\\crm_install_config.xml /L*v c:\\install\\crm_install.logi get log file as bellow.
Same is happening when i trigger the installation through UI. It also does not matter if i enable internet connectivity or not. No antivirus is installed yet.
PS: seems like workaround may be to unzip the iso into folder and run the installation from there. This at, least let, me enter licence key. Haven't tried further yet... i do not think that’s right way anyway...
Any idea what can be wrong?
Any help highly appreciated
Thanks
log which gets created in C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\MSCRM\Logs\crmsetup.txt (again - no matter if triggered from UI or cmd line)

Hello,
Did this server have any Dynamics 365 CE server roles installed before, if so try to uninstall them and try again. The server should have connectivity to the internet as there are some pre-requisites installation required in order to proceed with the CRM server like SQL server native client.
Please also check this documentation on using command line to install Dynamics 365 CE server ::
docs.microsoft.com/.../install-dynamics-365-server-command-prompt
Sample XML configuration file ::
docs.microsoft.com/.../sample-server-xml-configuration-file
I would recommend going through the initial pre-requisites stage of server installation from the UI for the time being to see where exactly we hit the issue and try to correct it and then we can proceed with the installation through the command line.
Please mark my comments as answered if this helps.
Thanks,
Saurabh
