Unattended Rundown Broker installation using a batch file on a local computer

Installation scenario

The unattended installation via a batch file is ideal for installing Rundown Broker on a local computer when all configuration parameters are known in advance.

Installation Instructions

Copy the complete installation folder (Setup) into a local directory, because access to mounted network drives may conflict with elevated privileges required during the installation process. The local folder is referred as <local_Rundown_Broker_Setup_folder>.
