Sqlexpr32.exe Only Installs At 2nd Try

Hi everyone,

I can't figure out what this problem may be:

At my application I'm installing sqlexpr32.exe by doing this:





Code Block


System.Diagnostics.Process proc1 = System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(
Environment.ExpandEnvironmentVariables("%SQLHome%")+ @" sqlexpr32.exe", "/norebootchk /qb reboot=ReallySuppress addlocal=all " + "instancename=SQLEXPRESS SQLAUTOSTART=1");
proc1.WaitForExit();
proc1.Close();
when I do this for the first time the sql setup runs but gives me an error saying that the file sqlncli.msi (Native Client) was not found

but if I go to the temp directory the msi is there..

when I run the app for the second time the sqlexpr32.exe detects the Native Client setup file and does the installation perfectly..

What could it be? Some thread issues?

Thanx in advance
