I am installing SQL Server 2008r2 silently via this command, to upgrade from 2005:
C:\Users\Root\Desktop\SUITE2~2\OUTSQL~2\SQLServer2008r2\SQLEXPRWT_x64_ENU.exe /QS /INSTANCENAME=MSSQLSERVER /ACTION=Install /FEATURES=SQL,BC,Conn,ADV_SSMS /SAPWD=MyPassword /SECURITYMODE=SQL /TCPENABLED=1 /ADDCURRENTUSERASSQLADMIN /SQLSVCSTARTUPTYPE=Automatic /SQLSVCACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM" /AGTSVCACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM" /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS
It fails to install "Tools". Yet when I go to look at the logs to debug, none exist. I am looking in:
\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Setup Bootstrap\Log
as per this article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/955396?wa=wsignin1.0
yet, there is no "Log" folder in Setup Bootstrap. The only folder there is "SQLServer2008r2". In fact, very few files exist in the "100" folder tree created by the installer:
100
Setup Bootstrap
SQLServer2008R2
x64
Microsoft.AnalysisServices.DLL
Microsoft.SqlServer.Configuration.ASExtension.dll
Microsoft.SqlServer.Configuration.RSExtension.dll
Shared
sqlboot.dll
Why no logs, to help me figure out what is failing?
