Silent installation Nav2016 Server failed with config xml file: error 1603

edwinschutten

I have created a config with the following parameters:

<Parameter Id="NavServiceServerName" Value="localhost"/>
<Parameter Id="NavServiceInstanceName" Value="DynamicsNAV100TST"/>
<Parameter Id="NavServiceAccount" Value="<administrator account>"/>
<Parameter Id="NavServiceAccountPassword" IsHidden="yes" Value="password"/>

I run Powershell to install Navision 2017 CU28 SERVER:

Start-Process -NoNewWindow -Wait -FilePath "$($Command)" -ArgumentList "/config $($XMLCuInstallConfig)", "/quiet", "/log $($OutputLog)"

In the log I see the following error:

MSI log file set to: C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Temp\setup.wix.msi.27.log
Windows Installer: Error: Service 'Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server [DynamicsNAV100TST]' (MicrosoftDynamicsNavServer$DynamicsNAV100TST) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.
Done configuring package. Id = 'ServiceTier_NL' ReturnCode = 1603

When I install it manually, everything works fine.

I think that it has something to do with NavServiceAccount and password. I don't fill in the password in the config file. Could this be the problem?

The service tier failed to start so this definitely could be the cause
