The arguments you're sending to SQL Server are a little different than the ones that I used. For example, you aren't using the SECURITYMODE or SAPWD arguments, which I think are required. Look back to that chapter and see if you are missing any arguments. Try using the code example from the book or try running your arguments directly against the SQL Server executable. That may give you better error output. Also, there may be a log of the install in the temp directory. Nick
