Solve : Unattended SQL Express 2008 R2 Install on Windows 7?

Answer»

I am trying to run a batch script to do an unattended install of SQL Express 2008 R2 with Advanced SERVICES on a Windows 7 SYSTEM. The script I wrote based on the MSDN articles I found is as follows:

@echo off
echo.
echo.
start /wait c:\sqlexpradv_x86_enu.exe /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSE /ACTION="INSTALL" /FEATURES=SQLENGINE,FULLTEXT,SSMS /INSTANCEID="SQLEXPRESS" /QUIET="TRUE" /ISSVCACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITY\NETWORKSERVICE" /ADDCURRENTUSERASSQLADMIN="TRUE" /QS
echo.
PAUSE


The FIRST error did not LIKE /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSE so I removed it. The next error pointed out a grammatical error where I had /QUITE instead of /QUIET. The third error was on the /ISSVACCOUNT, I removed it.

What I wanted to know is has anyone managed to get this done and what script did they use? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.I have spent my afternoon working on this problem and now seem to have a batch file that will install this onto a Windows 7 32 bit system with the pieces I need. However before I publish the file USED I want to test it now to make sure that what was installed is actually what the app I am using SQL Express for works.
