For 2006 I used the Install script provided in the Help files and that worked beautifully. Now I did the same for 2007, but had a couple of problems with different scenarios.
1) 2007 comes with two discs. I had to combine the discs into one folder to install. It was a pain, but got it done. They were put in the network and referenced there. I used the custom script and installed everything on them. No matter what I did, however, It left the express tools and materials out of the install. (Strangely the two items it will ask you twice if you need to install).
2.) Same scenario as above, but ran the custom install using the disks rather from the network. Same result.
Does this script need to be modified from the help file? Has anyone else tried this? I don't really like the msi file because right now we are in the middle of upgrading our servers. This will change the \\servername and I will have to redo all the msi files again. I would rather use the scripts to install because they will point to a mapped drive instead.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. And, Yes these are standalone installs. No network licenses are used.
Thanks in advance for whatever advice you might have.
