I'm trying to add specific command line install arguments to a prerequisite (SQL Express 2012) for a Windows Setup Project in Visual Studio 2015.
I've selected "Download prerequisites from the same location as my application" and downloaded and placed the required installers in their respective bootstrap folders (C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\SDK\Bootstrapper\Packages...)
and I modified the package.xml in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\SDK\Bootstrapper\Packages\SqlExpress2012\en to include my specific changes to <Command
Arguments="my specific stuff" />
This builds fine and when I go to test the install it faild during the SQL Express 2012 install. The install.log notes:
Installing using command 'C:\Users\ljhersma\AppData\Local\Temp\VSDFB27.tmp\SqlExpress2012\SQLEXPR_x64_ENU.EXE' and parameters 'my specific stuff'
Process exited with code -2054422506
Status of package 'SQL Server 2012 Express' after install is 'InstallFailed'So the fact that the install.log picked up my specific commands proves that the modification of packages.xml worked, but I'm not sure why its actually failing. Let me know if you need any more information!
Below is the entire install.log
