Problems silent installtion RoleTailoredClient

Business Central/NAV Technical Forum

Hi,
I am trying to install the RoleTailoredClient with the following string silent at some clients:
X:\Navision.ins\CD_2009R2_YAVEON\setup.exe /quiet /config x:\Navision.ins\CD_2009R2_YAVEON\RoleTailoredClient\config.xml
The issue is that the setup will not start on some of these systems. …also without extension (/quit…).
There is nothing to find in the event log and the setup log is empty:
=== Logging started: 2011/10/10 17:02:48 ===
Executable: x:\Navision.ins\CD_2009R2_YAVEON\setup.exe v6.0.32012.0
Computer : PC_BEK
— logging level: standard —
=== Logging stopped: 2011/10/10 17:02:48 ===

The setup works fine on some systems and I tried the following things on system with this issue:

  • Closed all applications
  • started XP with the diagnostic start
  • stopped AV etc.
  • started the setup from a local drive (C:)
  • downloaded and ISO from technet and started the setup from DVD
    Other setups with setup.exe works fine…

Client configuration:

  • Windows XP SP3
  • Windows Updates installed every updates
  • 58GB free disk space
  • 2GB RAM - 1,4GB free

Did I miss any requirements, which I did not recognize and which are checked at the start?
I can start and install the “Microsoft Dynamics NAV RoleTailored Client.msi” without any problems… but I need the silent installation.

I am thankful for any assistance!
Thanks and viele Grüße
Christian

Some more ideas?
