So we need to update the AX2012 Client on our customers computers, but I have not been able to find any documentation on how to put the kernel update into the AX2012 install directory.
Nor have I been able to get the axupdate for 9100 to run unattended.
Anyone that can help?
EDIT.
I have downloaded the axupdate.exe file from LCS, run it and select "Download and install updates" and saved the update to an package.update file.
Then I tryed moving the axupdate.exe the package.update and the two folders licenceterms and support into a folder under the Dynamics AX2012 R3\Updates folder, and then run this command to do a silent install:
"Dynamics AX2012 R3\Setup.exe" HideUI=1 AcceptLicenseTerms=1 InstallClientUI=1 ClientConfig=0 ClientAosServer=AOSSERVER ClientLanguage=en-US ConfigurePrerequisites=1 ClientConfigFile="AOSSERVER.axc" InstallDebugger=1 InstallOfficeAddins=1
But it does not install the update.
So I newer found a way to automate the installation of the 9100 Client.
So what I have done is installed the 9100 update manually, and then made a copy of the client folder from that install, and we now simply copy the files from the folder to all the other clients.
That does seem to work.
It does not work.
Setup cannot continue. The parameter InstallClientOBA was not recognized.
Setup cannot continue. The parameter InstallComponents was not recognized.
Hi Rudi,
Could you please try this command and check if it works?
AX 2012\Install\Updates\UpdateTo_9100\axupdate.exe" AcceptLicenseTerms=1 HideUI=1 InstallClientOBA=1 InstallComponents=1 LogDir="C:\Install
Ok so I tried installing the 9100 update manually and that worked no problem.
But then I tired running it in silent mode with this command.
"AX 2012\Install\Updates\UpdateTo_9100\axupdate.exe" AcceptLicenseTerms=1 HideUI=1 InstallClientUI=1 LogDir="C:\Install" ConfigurePrerequisites=1 InstallDebugger=1 InstallOfficeAddins=1
I took those parameters from the logfile i got when i did the manual install, but it does not work.
Here is the DynamicsSetupLog.txt, the parameters InstallClientUI, InstallDebugger and InstallOfficeAddins seem to not work.

Does anyone have an idea how to get this to work?
Hi Rudi,
That's what I meant. The slipstream installer for build #9100 is not available. You will need to update the components using axupdate.exe file only
[/quote]Well yes I think that is the only way, the problem is that this has to be scriptable, since we have to do it on quite a lot of machines.
And I have tried that before with no success, so if someone have tried that before and can tell me how to do it, that would be nice.
I will also try one more time, and post here when I have more info on the problems with that.

Hi Rudi,
The latest slipstream update available is for CU13. I think you will need to install the update it using AX 2012 R3 installer only.
[/quote]I am not sure what you mean with this?
I have tried putting both the 9100 kernel and the R3 Slipstream install in the update folder but that does not work.
So I think the problem is that I can't seem to find a Slipstream version of 9100
Ah, sorry, you updated the first post with details. I haven't had such issue. Does it work if you install via the UI?
[/quote]No it does not work like that ether, I think the problem is that you can't download 9100 as a slipstream install, (See Gunjan Bhattacharyya post right after yours)
