R/s Sir/Madam,

I am the student of MCA & created a project based on LAN using vb.net & SQL SERVER 2008 R2 with OnlineExam named instance having password as abc@123.com. while I am creating a setup using .Net setup & deployment (VS2010) it installs prerequisites from installation folder but does not create a named instance as I mentioned.

My problem is that I just want to install SQL SERVER 2008 R2 with named instance but without users interaction. I already tried it from command line(cmd) and even using configuration.ini files, but the problem persists...

Please, help to make me such things...I request you to help me out of this....please....

Thanks in advance.

As far as I understand, if you want to install the sql server with out any user interaction on GUI is not possible as few screens during installation requires details from the end user.

Through CMD/Silent : https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms144259.aspx

If any other issue, as Shanky advised please share the logs.
