I have an installation program that installs an application and SQL Express.

When I run it from a CD or jump drive it installs fine.

So I create a zip file of the complete install plus SQL and load it to my web site.
Download the zip file.
Extract the zip file.
Run the install.
The application installs but SQL does not.







(I am using Run Command Line with this:

%SRCDRV%\SQLEXPR_x86_ENU /ACTION=Install /FEATURES=SQL /INSTANCENAME=DataBinder /SQLSVCACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITY\LOCAL SERVICE" /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS=True /NPENABLED=1 /TCPENABLED=1 /ADDCURRENTUSERASSQLADMIN /QS)
