VMware Tools install hang on Windows 2016

I incorporate vmware tools setup64.exe as part of Windows 2016 autounattend install.  

D:\CustomFolder\setup64.exe /s /v'/qn REBOOT=R'

<component name="Microsoft-Windows-Deployment" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<RunSynchronous>
<RunSynchronousCommand wcm:action="add">
<Path>D:\CustomFolder\setup64.exe /s /v&quot;/qn REBOOT=R&quot;</Path>
<Order>1</Order>
</RunSynchronousCommand>
</RunSynchronous>
</component>
</settings>

However, it is turning out to be hit or miss.  Half the time it installs without issue, the other half it installs but I am not seeing the vmware icon on the bottom taskbar nor is it regster to Center that it is install and running.  Any thought or different install approach would be appreicated
