Unattended Installation Woes

Hi,

I have tried to do a new SQL 2005 install via an unattended install script. I have tried both a modified version of the template.ini and just from the command line.

The installation starts and successfully installs some of the components I have selected through the ADDLOCAL option. Unfortunately it then reports an execution error and exits.

The errors I find in the install log files are as follows...

SQLSetup..._Core.log:

Error: Action "LaunchLocalBootstrapAction" threw an exception during execution. Error information reported during run:
"C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90Setup Bootstrapsetup.exe" finished and returned: 1603
Aborting queue processing as nested installer has completed
Message pump returning: 1603

SQLSetup..._Core(Local).log

The files reported as failing to be added to the .cab file do not exist, although .Net 2.0 was successfully installed. All other log files do not seem to contain errors.

When calling the install from the command line I am running the following

setup /qb ADDLOCAL=SQL_Engine,SQL_Data_Files,SQL_Replication,SQL_FullText,SQL_DTS,Client_Components,Connectivity,SQL_Tools90,SDK,SQLXML,SQL_WarehouseDevWorkbench,Tools_Legacy,SQL_Documentation,SQL_BooksOnline INSTALLSQLDIR="D:NTAppsMicrosoft SQL Server" INSTALLSQLSHAREDDIR="D:NTAppsMicrosoft SQL Server" INSTALLSQLDATADIR="F:Data" INSTANCENAME=MSSQLSERVER SQLBROWSERACCOUNT="DomainSQL" SQLBROWSERPASSWORD="******" SQLACCOUNT="DomainSQL" SQLPASSWORD=="******" AGTACCOUNT="DomainSQL" AGTPASSWORD="******" SQLBROWSERAUTOSTART=1 SQLAUTOSTART=1 AGTAUTOSTART=1 SECURITYMODE=SQL SAPWD="*******" SQLCOLLATION=SQL_Latin1_General_Cp1_CI_AI

Note: I've changed the usernames and passwords

Any ideas anyone?
