Hello,
The app I am describing below installs on Windows 7 Pro, but fails on Server 2008 R2 SP1 with .NET 3.5 SP1.
I am working on an installation application that installs our main package and SQL Server2012 (it will install SQL Server 2008 as well and that is working fine). It is written in C# and calls the installer using a command like this
p = Process.Start(FilePath, paramStr);
Where the paramStr variable equals the following:
/ACTION=Install  /QS=true  /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS=true  /UPDATEENABLED=true  /INSTANCENAME=TheName  /SECURITYMODE=SQL  /SAPWD=XXXXX  /INSTANCEDIR="C:\MyApp"  /FEATURES=SQL,BC
If I create a shortcut to the SQLEXPRWT_x64_ENU.exe and pass the above parameters it installs.  Howev ...

Go to the complete details ...
