Sql Server 2008, Prerequisite silent installation Problem

[jesusilvester]

Hi,
I have added the 'SqlServer Express edition with advanced services' in the prerequisites section.
I have given the commandline arguments for the silent installation. setup.exe /QS /AddCurrentUserAsSqlAdmin /ACTION=Install /FEATURES=SQL,RS,TOOLS /INSTANCENAME=SQLExpress /SECURITYMODE="SQL" /RSSVCACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITY\Network Service" /SQLSVCACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITY\Network Service" /SAPWD="*******"/SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS="BUILTIN\ADMINISTRATORS" /RSSVCStartupType=Automatic

When I run the installation the Sql server installation is successfully done but even after the successful installation the prerequisite window is being displayed and still showing with a red icon .I have checked the sql installation log summary to confirm the installation has been done completely.

I suspect the problem is due the asyncronous execution of the prerequisite (Only for Sql Server 2008).


Please help in this regard. Expecting for a reply

Thanks

Also In the Prerequisites command line argument i have given /wait before the setup.exe for sql 2005 . It was working fine.
But the same is not working for the sql 2008

Hi,

Please notice that when adding a prerequisite to the installation package you must set certain Install Conditions.
- To do so double click the prerequisite file and a new dialog called Edit Prerequisite will appear.
- Go to Install Conditions tab, here create an appropriate search criteria in the Search group.
For searching you can use a criteria based on: file version, product version, registry keys, etc.

Regards,
Bogdan
