You are trying to install the x64 version of SQL Express, are you sure you tested on a x64 Windows? If you were to run this on a x86 (32 bits) system you're installer will fail with something like the error you mention :)

Has someone been successful with this that can point out what's wrong with my setup? /<ExePackage Id="SQLSERVER" SourceFile="SQLEXPR_x64_ENU.exe" DetectCondition="SqlInstanceFound" InstallCommand="$(var.SqlInstallCommand)" UninstallCommand="$(var.SqlUninstallCommand)" RepairCommand="$(var.SqlRepairCommand)" />/ I am using these parameters for the install command: //ACTION=Install /Q /INDICATEPROGRESS /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS /FEATURES=SQLEngine /INSTANCENAME=$(var.SqlServerInstance) /SQLSVCACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITY\Network Service" /SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS="BUILTIN\Administrators"/ The bootstrapper fails with the message: "Invalid pointer". The Burn log shows: /Error 0x80004003: Process returned error: 0x80004003 Error 0x80004003: Failed to execute EXE package. Error 0x80004003: Failed to configure per-machine EXE package.
