I think SQL Server 2008 Bootstrapper has a problem or maybe I am missing 
something here.


<Command PackageFile="SQLEXPR32_x86_ENU.EXE"
                                 Arguments='/action=Install /features=SQL 
/instancename=MSSQLSERVER  /tcpenabled=1 /securitymode=SQL 
/sapwd="ASAE!23456789"  /enableranu=1 /sqlsvcaccount= "NT Authority\System" 
/SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS="BUILTIN\ADMINISTRATORS"  /skiprules=RebootRequiredCheck'
                                 EstimatedInstalledBytes="225000000"
                                 EstimatedInstallSeconds="420">

I force the bootstrapper to install as default Instance but it installs as a 
SQLExpress named instance. Anyone encountered this problem.

Thanks,

Arun Perregattur

Great question, Arun. I can imagine a few possibilities, not the least of which 
is the size and complexity of installations of SQL Server SKUs north of 
Express, but I don't have intimate knowledge of the decision points. I believe 
that the VS team owns the bootstrappers, so let them know what you'd like to 
see in the future: http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio

Thank you. That's exactly what I am trying to do now. I created a Virtual PC 
for XP installed VS 2008 Express SP1(what a pain). Copied the packages folder 
from there to my development PC and deleted the Virtual PC.

Why can't Microsoft make those packages available for downloads for non-Express 
editions..

It's in the VS 2008 SP1 SKU... but not in the patches. Here's a workaround from 
the Express team blog:

HTH, Arun.

I am looking for SQL Server 2008 and not SQL Server 2005.

If you have Visual Studio it includes a Bootstrapper for SQL Server 2005
(C:\Program Files\Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\Bootstrapper)

Is there SQL Server 2008 Express Bootstrapper available.

http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/install_dotnet.htm

the above link helped me to install Framework 3.5 and Windows Installer 3.1
now I am looking to for SQL Server 2008 Express.

Please let me know where I can find one.

Thanks,

Arun Perregattur
