N.B.

Also have tried to register my installation of SQL Express SP2 but the registration web page has a bug and

does not enable me to register at https://profile.microsoft.com/ProductActivation/ProductActivation.aspx?lcid=1033&WizId=0569136c-78c8-454b-bf27-cb7d7863de63

This message appears in "Red' even when legitimate email-address was entered:

"*Required: E-Mail Address"

cheers,

Fred

Not finding much on this one, I'm going to move this to the setup forum so the experts can take a look.

Hi Mike,

Thanks for your assistance.

Meanwhile I have found out the problem i.e:
1. Instead of running SQLEXPR32.EXE I have extracted the contents
into a new folder using the commandline SQLEXPR32.EXE -X

2. I have created an autostart CD from the extracted data.

3. Run the CD, autorun will open splash.hta automatically.
This installation menu will appear:

Prepare
Review hardware and software requirements
Read the release notes
Install
Run the SQL Server Installation Wizard
Run the SQL Native Client Installation Wizard
Other Information
Browse this CD
Visit the SQL Server website
Read the SQL Server license agreement
4. Run the SQL Native Client Installation Wizard, with success,
installation closes all screens.

5. Run CD again and run the SQL Server Installation Wizard
got into error: current user (the Administrator!)
has not enough access rights to write in "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server"

6. Check and change access control with Explorer "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server"
Indeed it was totally unwritable by Admin!

7. Run CD again and the SQL Server Installation Wizard is running flawless.
All steps can be finished.

cheers,
Fred
