You will want to edit your ConfigurationFile.ini to set Quiet="True" and comment out the UIMode=Normal, as for unattended install you generally don't want a GUI, and without this, it would just launch the installer and wait for user input. The configuration file didn't appear to keep any passwords specified (in my case just SAPWD since I enabled Mixed-Mode auth in my example), so that would either need to be added to the file afterwards or specified as a command-line argument.
I do think the extracted install dir + setup.exe is needed for unattended install, I had no luck trying to run SQLEXPRADV_圆4_ENU.exe with /CONFIGURATIONFILE directly. If you're doing unattended installs you won't want to guess and copy the dir name each time. In my case: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Setup Bootstrap\Log\\ConfigurationFile.iniĬopy or save this file where you want it, along with copying the whole installation dir before closing the installer. I followed along with the installer right up to the "Ready to Install" page of the installer, which shows you the path to the ConfigurationFile.ini it's created. Unattended Install SQLEXPRADV_圆4_ENU.exe /ACTION=Install /UIMode=Normal
First, I created a ConfigurationFile.ini just as you did. This alone is not muchof an answer though, so I've gone ahead and done a complete unattended install. FCIV or Get-FileHash (PowerShell 4.0?) are two examples on Windows. Mine only lists Express in the dropdown menu, not "Evaluation" - I think Evaluation showing up at all indicates you've got a Standard (or other) edition installer.Ī quick way to verify your installer is a different file would be to compare the hash. My Product Key screen is different from your screenshot. I downloaded the SQL Server 2012 Express Advanced Edition installer from the link you mention and was able to follow your steps broadly but I saw a notable difference. I think this is going to come down to the wrong installer. Values that need to be changed before use:
SQL 2012 EXPRESS WITH TOOLS FULL
This file was obtained from the installer using the switches "/ACTION=Install /UIMODE=Normal" which yields the FULL set of wizard pages AND the ability to save a new configuration file. Since you'll most likely ask this, I'm including my full configuration file here: SQL Server 2012 Configuration File I know where to download Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Express, and I know where to download Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Express, but where in the world is Microsoft SQL Server 2012 R2 Express? The client wants to use "MS SQL Server R2 with Advanced Tools", either 2008 or 2012 (and eventually even 2014).
(Brilliant of them to name all versions the same.) I'm currently downloading again, unsure whether it's not the one I already have (which, if I right-click and choose "Properties", tells me it's a "Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Express Advanced Edition"). Update: I've been told I might have the wrong version of the installer. What gives? Which setting do I need to supply or alter in order to install the Express edition?
SQL 2012 EXPRESS WITH TOOLS LICENSE
No matter how I fiddle with the configuration, it will either install a "default" or "named" instance of the standard edition, although I don't specify a license (disregard the red arrow in this image, I'm selecting the other option). I've downloaded SQLEXPRADV_圆4_ENU.exe and used /ACTION=Install /UIMODE=Normal to generate and modify a configuration file. My goal is to install MS SQL Server 2012 R2 Express.
