Hi guys

I dont need help with the usage of RSlogix but I need some tips with silent installing it
I work in the IT department for an educational institution and I need to package this for automated silent install for a whole lab of computers

The software I am installing is RSlogix Pro 12.0

There are a bunch of silent install options:

Code:
Setup.exe /[option]={value} /[option]={value} ...

 Options:

 Q                One of /Q and /QS is required if /Record is not specified.
                  Installs the product in the silent mode without any user
                  interface.

 QS               One of /Q and /QS is required if /Record is not specified.
                  Installs the product in the unattended mode without user
                  interaction during installation, and shows the progress,
                  errors, or complete messages on the user interface.

 IAcceptAllLicenseTerms
                  Required for /Q or /QS.
                  Specifies that you read and acknowledge all license
                  agreements, and agree to continue the installation.

 AutoRestart      Optional. If specified, the computer will be restarted
                  automatically after the installation if a restart is
                  required to complete the installation.
                  The parameter is ignored if a restart is not required.

 SetupLanguage    Optional. Specifies which language will be displayed during
                  the installation process.
                  The value must be the one of
                  <ENU|CHS|DEU|ESP|FRA|ITA|JPN|KOR|PTB>.
                  If omitted, the default language is the user or system
                  user interface language.

 Record           Optional. Records your inputs to a recording file.

 Playback         Optional. Plays back a recording file.

 ProductLanguage  Available for multi-language installation media only.
                  Optional. Specifies which language of components will
                  be installed.
                  The value must be the one of
                  <ENU|CHS|DEU|ESP|FRA|ITA|JPN|KOR|PTB>.
                  If omitted, the default language is the same as SetupLauange.

 InstallLocation  Optional. Specifies the installation location.
                  If omitted, the default location is
                  "C:\Program Files (x86)\Rockwell Software" (64-bit) or
                  "C:\Program Files\Rockwell Software" (32-bit).

 InstallDrive     Optional. Specifies the installation drive.
                  If omitted, the default drive is C:.

 SerialNumber     Optional. Specifies the serial number that is required if
                  you want to get an activation key during installation.

 ProductKey       Optional. Specifies the product key which is required if
                  you want to get an activation key during installation.

 Version          Optional. Specifies the version corresponds to the product
                  version that the SerialNumber and ProductKey are able to
                  activate if you want to get an activation key during
                  installation.
                  If omitted, the installer uses a default version which is
                  the most recent product version available when retrieving
                  the activation.

Examples:

 1. Silent install with default parameters:

 Setup.exe /Q /IAcceptAllLicenseTerms

 2. Unattended install with customized parameters:

 Setup.exe /QS /IAcceptAllLicenseTerms /AutoRestart /SetupLanguage=CHS
 /InstallDrive=D: /SerialNumber=0123456789 /ProductKey=ABCDE-FGHIJ /Version=12.00.00

All i need really is the /Q /IAcceptAllLicenseTerms /Playback=recordfile.rec

I first tested this without the /playback switch. Installed without an issue

Now when I try to use the playback switch it hangs and eventually times out saying
"unable to contact server"

This might be the license server? .. Is there anyway to automate the license server before hand or make it skip this part?
The application is going to communicate with a license server

Did you create a recording file using /record=recordfile.rec first?
