SQL 2005 install on Vista
I'm installing SQL 2005 Express silently from an installer using this code:

ExecWait "$PLUGINSDIR\SQLEXPR.EXE -q /norebootchk /qb reboot=ReallySuppress addlocal=all instancename=${SQLCatalog} SCCCHECKLEVEL=IncompatibleComponents:1;MDAC25Version:0 ERRORREPORTING=1 SQLAUTOSTART=1 SAPWD=${SQLPassword} SECURITYMODE=SQL DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=0"

In XP everything works fine, but in Vista it fails when it tryed to start the services.

Any ideas whats the problem ?

Thanks.

Yes sure, admin, highest, still dosn't work
It installs everything but when it tries to start the services it fails.

In the same installer I install .Net and other stuff without any problem.
