Try this as an alternative as I don't have any idea about the error you specified.

alfresco-community-installer-201605-win-x64.exe --mode unattended --alfresco_admin_password admin

This should start a installation silently with default values.

Thanks for your report

Would you mind creating a JIRA issue in the ALF project, so that we can look at it further? https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/projects/ALF/summary
We would also need:

• the exact version of Windows you are using
  
• the log file that the installer created, which will be in: C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Temp\bitrock_installer_XXX.log

Thank you

Hello Sujay,

I used the command specified by you but still the same error is generating.

(alfresco-community-installer-201605-win-x64.exe --mode unattended --alfresco_admin_password admin)

should i use the option file as

_________________________________________________________

For Windows:

alfresco-one-installer-201603-win-x64.exe --optionfile install_opts

either as an administrator, or by clicking yes on User Account Control window that pops up.

This is an example option file, which installs most components, uses an external database, and

does not install the start-up scripts:

mode=unattended

components=javaalfresco,alfrescowcmqs,libreofficecomponent

disable-components=postgres

# Use JDBC settings for an existing database

jdbc_url=jdbc:postgresql://localhost/alfresco

jdbc_driver=org.postgresql.Driver

jdbc_database=alfresco

jdbc_username=alfresco

jdbc_password=alfresco

# Install location

prefix=/opt/alfresco_51

alfresco_admin_password=admin

# Don't install init scripts

baseunixservice_install_as_service=0

_____________________________________________________

if i need to provide options file, what is the format of the options file and where it should be placed?
