Alfresco install crashes if executed remotely via Windows RM

[vinb]

We are trying to create an installation script that installs Alfresco remotely on a Windows Server 2008 R2 server. We use Windows Remote Management (WinRM) to download and execute the Alfresco community edition installer remotely. But the installer is crashing and the event mentioned below gets logged. (Note that, if you log on to the remote machine and execute the installer directly on the remote machine, it succeeds. So this crash happens only when executed via WinRM.)

Event log entry:
Faulting application name: alfresco-community-4.2.c-installer-win-x64.exe, version: 4.2.0.0, time stamp:
0x5049c0c3
Faulting module name: unknown, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x00000000
Exception code: 0xc000041d
Fault offset: 0x74a52ba0
Faulting process id: 0x864
Faulting application start time: 0x01cdf082b88bbe23
Faulting application path: C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\downloadtemp\alfresco-community-4.2.c-
installer-win-x64.exe
Faulting module path: unknown
Report Id: fb6d05f3-5c75-11e2-9e1f-00155d449f91

Any help would be appreciated.

Anyone with any ideas? Is there a better forum to post this question to? Any help or pointers to other resources would be appreciated.

Hi
My reply is not related to how to do remotely on Windows.
I would like to give the feedback. I do almost all the time installing it remotely, but my OS is Linux. Alfresco installation on LINUX is quite simple. Worth trying out
Thanks

Another idea is that there's no need to use the "alfresco provided installer" if you are scripting deployment of alfresco.
