Hello Ernie
By reading this post again, I just realize that you are not trying to run the silent installation with a response file by you are trying to build a response file.
The steps to install the System Agent in silent mode are documented here
Basically you have to customize the installer .properties file to meet your requirements manually
On windows it is called win_installer.properties and located on the installation media (.iso file)
At the end of this .properties file, you can also call another file to change some parameters in the agentparm.txt file by using the RAW_DATA keyword.
For example:
RAW_DATA=/usr/home/joe/additional_agentparm.txt
When your file is ready, run the silent installation with:
setup.exe -f "path\win_installer.properties"
And finally, if this setup.exe -f command returns with no error without installing the System Agent, please see my previous post about UAC
