I'm trying to create a silent installation which will create a new instance of the express version
on my clients machine, the problem is that i can't set the service account to local service
i.e AGTACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITYLOCAL SERVICE"
if im running the normal setup (GUI) i can set this property easly,
but from the command line all i get is
"NT AUTHORITYLOCAL SYSTEM" which is the default i think
I 'm trying to install Sql Server 2005 Express Edition using c# 2.0 by starting a process and launching setup. I also want to informed about installation progress. For instance i want to inform end user if any installation error return or if setup has successfully completed etc. I think i need a callback... I have no problem about silent - unattended install but how can i informed about running installation progress ? and send these info to end user 's form ?
I want to build a silent setup/installation of MS-SQL-Server-Express 2005 for installation on customers computers. I want to integrate it in my own setup/installation routine of my application. How can I do that? Where can I get Infos or tutorials? Perhaps here ?
Is it possible to install a 64 bit SQL Server 2005 silently?. I am wondering what are the command options that are needed to do a quiet Install of Enterprise Edition of SQL Server 2005 (x64) on a x64 OS.
I am writing an application that requires SQL Express to be installed alongside.
So I try to do the following - Before installing my application, I pop-up a link which leads to "SQLEXPR.exe ADDLOCAL=SQL_Engine INSTANCENAME=MSSQLServer <other parameters> /qb " . But this displays only a basic GUI, which means that the pre-requisite checks for SQL express are not displayed to the user. So if MDAC version 2.8 is not present on the system the installation of SQLexpress fails without any error messages (except in the log files). ( This is not a problem with all pre-requisites :: If .NET is not present on the system, the failure is much more elegant. There is a nice GUI pop-up which requests the user to install .NET 2.0 before installing SQL express.)
On the other hand, If I remove the "/qb" switch, I can get the pre-requisites GUI to display and the end-user can figure out the cause of failure easily enough. But this means that the optional parameters I use, for example the instancename or the authentication mode will not be used during the install
Is there a good commandline switch I can use so that 1) The pre-requisites check screen is displayed 2) All the commandline options are used for installation.
My ASP.Net application needs AJAX and SQL Server to be installed on the server.
How can I make AJAX and SQL Server installation as a part of my application installation?
Is it possible to automate the install of SQL Server? So user dont need to write in anything, all the answers will be prewritten.
I heard, using Microsoft Setup manager we can generate Setup.iss files to automate the silent install of SQL Server. But I cant find information about how to implement and where can I find this tool.
My main motive is to save my client from installation questions of SQL Server.
One version of my application uses SQL Server 2005 Express and another one uses Standard version.

I don't know if I missing something essencial or if I did it in a wrong way, but when I ran the installation from the command line, I get, after a while, a minimized window with "ERROR REPORTING" as title that I can't restore.
I could install it manually without problems (as a test). I've made ISS files for the SQL 2000 Server Developer Edition, but I couldn't for reporting services. Is this possible? Is there an error in my template.ini?

I have copied install files to both local and remote locations
I know the response €“ Installshield cannot find the silent response file, but SQL setup creates this on its own. Short of bringing this production system down and re-installing on both nodes ( I did test this on a non-prod box by the way, no issues), I am at a loss
Cool place! Has anyone deployed SQL Express silently using one click and an attached a smart client DB from within the app ... would love to see some of the best practices or horror stories! Just kidding... :) I'm about to deploy a smart client using SQL Express and could use some tips from someone who has been there.

I am very well versed in the proper way to set up a SQL Server server prior to installation.
In this I mean, the proper process in placing your MDF, LDF and NDF(s) on seperate spindles/discs and also to place TempDB on its own spindle/disc and such.
There are numerous other points to cover in setting up the server based on memory, security, processor and such but I am sure you understand.
What I am looking for is the link(s) to the whitepapers discussing these Best Practices methodologies for pre-installation setup.
I looked on the Best Practices page but did not seem to find a doc that contains all the Best Practices that should be followed, if possible of course, in setting up a server prior to the SQL Server 2005 installation process.
Can anyone please point me to a link(s)/doc(s) that describe what I am looking for.
I need to pass this information down to other members of my team.
I have a very strange problem when I try to install SQL Express 2014 on 1 PC on my network.
The setup is blocking on the step "rules of functionnality" (I hope it is the good translation ...).
I ha ve a message that indicates that there is a problem the following checking : "It exists a Internet connection with the download center for Microsoft Framework 4.0". At the beginning I had Framework 3.5 and 4.5 installed on the PC.
When I tried to install manually Framework 4.0 I had a message that indicated that the setup was not possible because there was a Superior version. So I uninstall v4.5 and install v4.0 normally.
I run again SQL 2014 Express setup but I have always the same error. I take a look on Internet to look for the same problem but I found nothing.
I have created a setup in visual studio and set the sql server as a pre-requsites.
now when the setup is run from
setup.exe
it checks whether sql server is installed... if installed then continues otherwise install sql server express edition, now this installation is silent,
I need to set the sa password during installation of sql server . i have no option to set the password during installation, can any one help
I'll install SQL Server Express SP2 on Vista during my Setup. But the setup beaks with error 110. In other articles it sounds like an folder access problem. On a Custom Action Type 210 i start a application which execute the sqlexpress.exe. I tried some other codes to impersonate or noImersonate but without success.
But i can not use the unpacked files because size is to large(170MB)
An good Idea would be unpack the setup files during setup to an custom folder with right permissions. But I dont know how unpack files without GUI (SQLEXPRESS x always show the GUI).

Is there a way to extract only installation files to install SQL 2012 client tools from complete media set. I'm interested in SQL MGMT Studio/Profiler/Data Quality services/Configuration tools.

I'm trying in vain to upgrade sql server 2000 to 2005 with great headache and pain.
I (finally) have removed all Beta, and other incompatible version of .NET, Visual Studio and any other offending components, and made it to the first page of the install shield.
The .NET 2.0 components installed fine - but I get a fatal error trying to install the SQL Server Set Support Files.
I do have a log file - and have tired searching on the various error codes in it, but am coming up blank. Please advise - this is taking forever!

SP2 refuses to install for the Database Engine because €śthe previous upgrade did not complete€?, i.e. it detects a suspended installation. The same thing happened to me when I installed SP1. I then remember opening the maintenance dialog and completing the setup, after which SP1 installed just fine.
When I try to do the same thing this time, I€™m presented with the €?complete the suspended installation€? option, which when I run it reports the installation completed successfully. However, in reality the installation still remains in suspended mode for whatever reason. If I reboot and open the maintenance dialog, I€™m still presented with the €?complete the suspended installation€? option. I€™ve even tried to run it more than once, but it doesn€™t help. Needless to say, SP2 still refuses to install.
I don't know why the installation is in a suspended state. I know every part of SP1 installed successfully in the end, and the computer never crashed during the installation. I've been using it every day since then, without any problems. All other parts of SP2 did install successfully.

The need is to redistribute and install SQL Express in the silent mode. Looks like the current license does not allow to redistribute SQL Express in a way other than self-unpacking archive (we need sqlexpr_adv.exe). It seems that the way to do it is:
1. Unpack this archive in the silent mode to the default temp directory, without any dialogs popping up.
2. Proceed with the installation of the unpacked files in the silent mode.
No prob with 2), but we don€™t really know how to deal with 1).
Is there any way to get a full list of command-line parameters for sqlexpr_adv.exe, including the parameter for the silent unpacking?
I'm making a custom unattended installation of SQL Server 2005 Express. I'm using WPI (Windows Post-Install) installing first Framework 2.0, then SQL 2005 Express and then I want tu ejecute some SQL sentences using SQLCMD. The problem is, that if I don´t start at least one time the Managament Studion Express, those sentences are not ejecuted.But, Why? The first time you run the MMSE, you get a horizontal progress bar, telling you that MMSE is preparing for firt run. Is there any way to automate this?
P.S. I'm starting the MSSQL service automatically using a template.ini.
