I have been trying to get the SQL Express install to run in silent mode (/qb), but it is failing right after the "System Configuration Check". It jumps to "Setup Progress" and dies. If I run it without the /q it works fine.
I have also not been able to get the "/l" switch to work as expected.
It is possible that I have been going around and around with so long now that I am just missing something really simple.
Here is the command line that I am trying to use:
sqlexpr.exe /qb SECURITYMODE=SQL SAPWD=password DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=2 instancename=MSSQLSERVER

As it turns out...I was missing something simple. You have to include the "ADDLOCAL" flag. For whatever reason this is not clear to me from reading the docs...
