Feature Prerequisite causing installation to abruptly abort installation

[davidg]

Hello,

I am using the Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Express SP1 (x64) prerequisite in InstallShield 2010. The problem I have run into is: on a 64 bit machine after the preq installation finishes and actually installed successfully the installation abruptly quits.

Program:

SQLEXPR_x64_ENU.exe


My command line args:

/qs /ACTION=Install REBOOT=ReallySuppress /FEATURES=SQL /INSTANCENAME=SOMESQLEXPRESS /SQLSVCACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITY\Network Service" /SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS="BUILTIN\ADMINISTRATORS" /AGTSVCACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITY\Network Service" /ADDCURRENTUSERASSQLADMIN="True" /hideconsole

The Log:

Action 15:42:41: Installing Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Express SP1 (x64). Installing Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Express SP1 (x64)
InstallShield 15:54:24: *** Prerequisites complete; return code 7
InstallShield 15:54:24: Destroyed Window {7B9E7363-8FE8-4DE0-B3A4-09BFE63A46E1}
CustomAction ISInstallPrerequisites returned actual error code 259 (note this may not be 100% accurate if translation happened inside sandbox)
Action ended 15:54:24: ISInstallPrerequisites. Return value 5.
Action ended 15:54:24: INSTALL. Return value 1.

Does anyone have any idea what these error codes are indicating?

Still not sure what the error codes mean, but I set the prerequisite to ignore the pending reboot and it seems to work fine now.
