Cannot install Navision via batch file

Hello,

My job is to install Navision on standard Windows 10 Pro Client in my company.

The installation is via a batch-file.

After I execute the batch file a cmd prompt appears with some text, and after that a installation a window should appear like in ausual software installation on Windows. But it doesn't

Can anyone tell me what's wrong?

Do you want to perform a silent (automatic) installation? If so, you need to prepare a setup configuration file and then launch setup.exe by passing this file as input.

“setup.exe” does support some different parameters for this purpose:

/quiet <– will turn of the UI

/log [filename] <– create a log text file in the specified location

/config [filename]<– point to the configuration file to use during the installation

/uninstall <– will simple un install the product

/repair <– repairs a bad installation

The first thing that needs to be done is to create the configuration file that we will use.

Star “setup.exe”

Click “next”

Click “I accept”

Click “Choose an installation option”

Click “Custom Components”

Select the product that you want to install

Update destination folder if needed by clicking on the “destination folder” link

Click “next”

Click on the component that you have picked to setup the different parameters as “server name” and so on. When done apply your changes.

Click “save configuration”

Pick a good location, name and save the xml file

You can create as many configuration files as you want for different purposes. Now, you can run the silent install by simply doing start -> run -> [setupExepath] /quiet /config [configfilepath.xml]. Be sure to take a look to the log file, to ensure everything went OK.

Example D:\setup.exe /quiet /config C:\configfiles\config1.xml /log C:\log.txt
