The following batch file can detect and install RTC clients on workstations. I have added this to GPO as startup script.

@echo off

wmic product get name,version /format:csv | find “Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2017 RoleTailored Client,10.0.14199.0”
if %errorlevel%==0 (
goto:1
) else (
goto:2
)

:1
echo NAV 2017 version 10.0.14199.0 installed, continue
goto:eof

:2
echo Checking if previous version of NAV exist, and uninstall old version
if exist “%CommonProgramFiles(x86)%Microsoft Dynamics Nav100Setupsetup.exe” (
echo old version exist, start uninstalling old version
“%CommonProgramFiles(x86)%Microsoft Dynamics Nav100SetupSetup.exe” /uninstall /quiet
)
echo Installing NAV2017 10.0.14199.0 in background

net use n: {your network path that store the DVD folder}
start n:Setup.exe /config n:2017Config.xml /quiet

goto:eof

:eof

Very interesting I had a need to install on only select work stations so I built a powershell script that could be called to install and create a shortcut on the desktop to a shared executable. 

import-module \InstallMediaShareNavInstallationTools.psm1
#Install Nav
install-navcomponent -configfile \SharenavinstallmediaConfigFile.xml

#Copy Over short cut
$TargetFile = "\ShortcutNav16"
$ShortcutFile = "$env:PublicDesktopnav16.lnk"
$Icon = "C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft Dynamics NAV90RoleTailored ClientMicrosoft.Dynamics.Nav.Client.exe"
$WScriptShell = New-Object -ComObject WScript.Shell
$Shortcut = $WScriptShell.CreateShortcut($ShortcutFile)
$Shortcut.TargetPath = $TargetFile
$Shortcut.IconLocation = $Icon
$Shortcut.Save()

I have this and a couple other powershell scripts  I use for Nav (13 & 16) on my github page.  https://github.com/MEaly58/Nav_Powershell
