[wix-users] Running installer inside 2016 TP5 docker container - Help Please :)

I was assuming that there was the potential for a similarity between 2k8 R2 and core.  From the link I provided: Windows Server 2008 R2 with the Remote Desktop Services role enabled:  Not supported. A multiple package installation using the MsiEmbeddedChainer table fails if the Remote Desktop Services role is enabled.

Ok, so I did have /i /quiet /qn arguments when I ran the installer.  So that's one thing answered.

For the error code, I take it that the following file is what it is barfing on?
C:\Windows\Installer\inprogressinstallinfo.ipi

I do not believe RDP is enabled for the container.  For silent install should this really be a requirement?  I would think that just having remote powershell/WMI enabled would be sufficient to install a product silently.
