Hi all!

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.


Thank in advance,
RSP

What T-SQL are you trying to run? There is no requirement to have Management Studio even installed for SQL Express to work so I think something else is happening that is not related to MMSE.
