You also don't need to exclude most of those, as they are not installed by default. Probably want to get into the habit of doing that now so that it doesn't bite you later when Citrix either renames a component (looking at you, CPM) or removes one, and the installs start to fail.

it's installing the prereqs now but not the components
i think i got it
it's working with the quiet switch and include switch....thanks @Nick Panaccio and @Ray Davis .
now i adjust have to figure out what's wrong with the exclude commands or if i need it.
@Ray Davis - i can't believe i missed that quiet switch...
