Silent Install Help!

Posted on by ITadmin1 50

Trying to create a silent install batch file to install Microsoft Dynamics AX. I have gone through the setup step by step and added every step of the process as a parameter except I can't figure out which parameter has to do with selecting the location for configuration settings (options are "save configuration in the registry" and "use a shared configuration file"). I would like to select "save configuration file in the registry". Does anyone know what the parameter is to set that?

I think that is all I'm missing to get this to work unless anyone sees anything else I'm doing wrong. Here is my command:

C:\DAX2012\setup.exe InstallRemoteDesktopServicesIntegration=1 InstallOfficeAddi

ns=1 InstallClientUI=1 ConfigurePrerequisites=1 InstallPath32Bit=%ProgramFiles(x

86)%\Microsoft Dynamics AX\60 ClientLanguage=en-US ClientInstallType=0 CreateCli

entDesktopShortcut=1 ClientAosServer=invdaxaos01

Thanks!

    When you do setup the configuration goes in the registry by default, I don't think there's a way to specify a file path to save the config to.

    However, I do have a bunch of utilities (both a .NET class library and PowerShell commands) to automate install and configuration of AX server and client - it also has a tool to create configuration in both registry and in config files.

    I have a link to the open source tools and some sample scripts up on my blog:

    Is there a reason why my command wouldn't work silently to install the software? This is what I'm using now:

    C:\DAX2012\setup.exe /q InstallRemoteDesktopServicesIntegration=1 InstallOfficeAddi

    ns=1 InstallClientUI=1 ConfigurePrerequisites=1 ClientLanguage=en-US ClientInstallType=0 CreateCli

    entDesktopShortcut=1 ClientAosServer=invdaxaos01

    I'm not sure just from looking at this. Anything interesting in the log file?
