I'd recommend running the SQL install from a batch file to start with to get the command line correct and then plug that in to burn. The command line reference is here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms144259.aspx
My command lines are: <?define InstanceName = "YOUR_INSTANCE" ?> InstallCommand="/ACTION=Install /INSTANCENAME=$(var.InstanceName) /FEATURES=SQL /SECURITYMODE=SQL /SAPWD=YOUR_PASSWORD /TCPENABLED=1 /SQLSVCACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE" /SQLSVCSTARTUPTYPE=Manual /SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS=BUILTIN\Administrators /Q /HIDECONSOLE /SkipRules=RebootRequiredCheck /IAcceptSQLServerLicenseTerms" UninstallCommand="/Action=Uninstall /INSTANCENAME=$(var.InstanceName) /FEATURES=SQL /Q /HIDECONSOLE" RepairCommand="/ACTION=Repair /INSTANCENAME=$(var.InstanceName) /Q /HIDECONSOLE" This is installing with SQL security which you might not want. This doesn't really help with the error you are seeing but the command line you have doesn't look correct to me.

I need to install ‘SQL Server Express 2012’ before installing my application. Hence, I am putting it as a prerequisite. My code is as follows: <Bundle Name = "My Product Version = "$(var.Version)" Manufacturer = "My Company" UpgradeCode = "$(var.UPGRADE_CODE)" IconSourceFile = "BootStrap.ico" > <WixVariable Id = "WixStdbaLicenseRtf" Value = Eula.rtf" /> <WixVariable Id = "WixStdbaLogo" Value = PageIcon.jpg" /> <BootstrapperApplicationRef Id = "WixStandardBootstrapperApplication.RtfLicense" /> <Chain> <PackageGroupRef Id = "SQLServerExpr" /> <MsiPackage SourceFile = "MySetup.msi" Vital = "yes" Compressed = "yes" DisplayInternalUI="yes"> </MsiPackage> </Chain> </Bundle> <util:RegistrySearch Root = "HKLM" Key = "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Redist\SqlDom\1033\CurrentVersion" Value = "Version" Variable = "SQL2012RedistFound" /> <PackageGroup Id = "SQLServerExpr"> <ExePackage Id = "SQLServerExpr" Cache = "no" Compressed = "yes" PerMachine = "yes" Permanent = "yes" Vital = "yes" Name = "SQLEXPR_Setup_ENU.exe" InstallCommand = "/ACTION=Install" SourceFile = "SQLEXPR_Setup_ENU.exe" DetectCondition = "SQL2012RedistFound" /> </PackageGroup> But, when the bootstrapper tries to extract the SQL Server Express setup file, it encounters the following error: [0194:0198][2012-11-23T13:24:12]: Registering bundle dependency provider: {3b885b1c-178c-4623-8c81-89dc4fa40886}, version: 1.0.0.0 [0560:06BC][2012-11-23T13:24:12]: Acquiring container: WixAttachedContainer, copy from: C:\Users\installer\Desktop\MyProductPkg.exe [0560:06BC][2012-11-23T13:24:24]: Setting string variable 'WixBundleLastUsedSource' to value 'C:\Users\installer\Desktop\' [0560:0CBC][2012-11-23T13:24:24]: Error 0x80004005: Failed to extract all files from container.
