Yes, you need to pass the value at both time. So keep your values stored in
registry for any future reference if required.

Hey Sandeep,
I imagine that you could have a registry entry that sets the value of the

The install doesn't work like that, installing one component then another.
Typically it creates folders, then copies all the files, then all shortcuts,
then all registry entries, then installs all services, etc. That's usually what
you see in the typical UI - "Copying files", "Installing servic
When the destination file doesn't exist, xcopy will prompt and wait with:
Does C:\Program Files\ShawnCo\TestApp.exe.config.bak specify a file name or

SQL 2005 runs as "Network Service" as well so you should have seen the

Hi All,
This did indeed turn out to be a SQL Server 2008 configuration issue
related to the identity under which the SQL Server service was running.
Once this was set to Local System (which has permissions to write to the
