2005 Setup Project: Installing SQL Server Express prerequisite with command line parameters

Hi, I've got a setup project which installs SQL Server Express as a
prerequisite to my program.

The problem is that by default it's installed using the SQLEXPRESS
instance name and Windows Authentication login mode.

I'd like to have my own instance name and SQL Authentication, which is
easily achieved with command line parameters... is there a way to
specify that sort of thing?

Thanks

SQL question actually but anyway.

Try this and let me know whether you can get it done.

Thanks, all I'm trying to do is get the bootstrap, which my set up
generates, to run the SQL Server Express setup file with the following
command-line arguments:
/qn SECURITYMODE=SQ L SAPWD=mySaPassw ord INSTANCENAME=my InstanceName

(I just thought this is an appropriate place to ask this question as it
has more to do with Setup & Deployment than SQL itself)

Hello, all, I started out thinking my problems were elsewhere but as I have worked through this I have isolated my problem, currently, as a difference between MSDE and SQL Express 2005 (I'll just call it Express for simplicity).

Both have 2 Ghz processors (one Intel, one AMD), both have a decent amount of RAM (Intel system...

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
