Hi

I am trying to setup a silent install of MS SQL Express. Here is the command I am using;
Code:
sqlexpr32.exe -q /norebootchk /qn reboot=ReallySuppress INSTANCENAME="name" SECURITYMODE=SQL SAPWD="password" SQLAUTOSTART=1 DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=0
The problem is that all that gets installed is Micriosft SQL Server Native Client and Microsoft SQL Server SEtup Support Files(English).

Looking at log file isn't much help;
Code:
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 9.00.3042.00 
============================== 
OS Version      : Professional Service Pack 1 (Build 6001) 
Time            : Tue Aug 26 11:53:36 2008 
 
 
 Setup succeeded with the installation, inspect the log file completely for status on all the components. 

Time            : Tue Aug 26 11:53:47 2008

If I just double click and next through the install it works fine. So what am I doing wrong?

thanks
 
Well I found the problem it needs the command addlocal=all. Anyone know a link to what the parameters? My googlefu is failing me.
