Installing SQL Express - XP Home

Hi,

We're creating an installer package for SQL Express 2005 and I'm using the built-in setup project in VS 2005 to create my MSI.

Everything appears to be working well, excpet that on Windows XP Home the SQL Express package is exiting with an error code 70002. I've googled for several days now and simply can't find any help on the 70002 exit code. Can anyone help ?

The command line arguments (I've split them onto seperate lines for clarity) we're passing to "sqlexpr32.exe" are : -

/qn

INSTANCENAME=OurInstance

SAPWD="OurPassword"

ADDLOCAL=SQL_Engine,SQL_Data_Files,Client_Components,Connectivity

SQLBROWSERAUTOSTART=1

SQLACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM"

SQLBROWSERACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM"

AGTACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM"

ASACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM"

RSACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM"

SECURITYMODE=SQL

DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=0

SQLAUTOSTART=1

Are you getting an error in the logs? Can you search your log folder for the text string "value 3" and post the 10 or so lines above it? This should give a more helpful message.

Thanks,
