| Hi, I am install an installer, inside which there is a SQL2005Express install process. But when a target system already has SQL2005Express installed, the installer will have trouble to install SQL2005Expr. The process invokes the following commandline:SQLEXPR.EXE -q /norebootchk /qb reboot=ReallySuppress addlocal=all instancename=Instance_Name SCCCHECKLEVEL=IncompatibleComponents:1;MDAC25Version:0 ERRORREPORTING=1 SQLAUTOSTART=1 SAPWD=Some_PSWD SECURITYMODE=SQL DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=0Instance_Name and Some_PSWD are replaced for the posting purpose here.If there is no installed SQL2005Expr, installation works fine; otherwise, the SQL2005Express install process will complain that there are contents in the folder [ProgramFiles]\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\, if I (for testing purpose) delete the contents there, and click 'Retry' button, the SQL2005Express install complete successfully. What I want here is that even there is an instance installed, my installer still go ahead install or create 'Instance_Name' instance for me. Is this a named instance? I don't know much about all the kinds of instances (default, named, user, etc.), but I want my instance to be a normal instance that bearing all the properties and features of SQL2005Express.So is that doable via a commandline install? How should I modify the above command to accomplish it?Thanks,PB |
