I have a install for my software that depends on SQL. I want to install SQL 2008 or 2012 express versions if SQL does not exist on the system. However, it is possible and likely that the system has been configured in a way that causes the SQL install to fail. I want to run a pre-install check to make sure SQL has the correct permissions to install before I attempt the install. Is there a way to call the SQL install so that you can get a return of errors without actually installing SQL. Or is there a program I can run as part of my install to check the system will not block the SQL install. My ultimate goal is to problematically set the polices and permissions of the system, Install SQL and then reset the computer permissions to the way they were before the install.
