Hi.
I would like to install SQL Server Express SP1 with service account = LOCAL SYSTEM account.
Is it possible?
Thanks.

Sure, just edit the command line of the installation program. To do this you may click Options on the Application Runtimes view with the SQL Server 2005 runtime highlighted and checked.

Problem uninstalling SQL 2005 Express

Post by Juan »

I notice that if I check SQL 2005 Express as a Pre-requisite in Application Runtimes, when I want UNINSTALL my application, it fires an error telling that I must set the original setup files localization. How must I do?

I guess you are manually removing SQL Server from the system before uninstalling the main setup. You may just use web builds, or you may also skip the prereqs block when uninstalling.

Just use If and test for MAINTENANCE being TRUE, or REMOVE being TRUE.
