Hey!

The following command line installs sql express with not problems (UAC disabled for W7)

But on a Vista box we get a failiure msg:
SQL Server Setup could not validate the service accounts. Either the
service accounts have not been provided for all of the services being
installed, or the specified username or password is incorrect. For each
service, specify a valid username, password, and domain, or specify a
built-in system account.

Here is the string:

start /wait sqlexpr.exe /qb ADDLOCAL=SQL_Engine INSTANCENAME="DEMO12" SQLACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM" SQLPASSWORD="Demo_00000" SQLBROWSERACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM" SQLBROWSERPASSWORD="Demo_00000" SQLAUTOSTART=1 SQLBROWSERAUTOSTART=1


All three test boxes have local admin rights, and basicly the same setup.

What can be wrong ?
