The Setup Prerequisite Editor is not available in the Express edition. You need to upgrade to the Professional or Premier edition in order to modify setup prerequisites.
where I presume that the < and => mean quote unquote. Scripting is not my forte. However you do need quotes. And this will only work for systems with English locales. For other locales, see Books Online or ms-help://MS.SQLCC.v9/MS.SQLSVR.v9.en/instsql9/html/309b9dac-0b3a-4617-85ef-c4519ce9d014.htm .
Thanks for your reply. It is too bad I cannot change a prereq's command line. In fact, I do not know what the command line is for this item. It may be doing something on its own that is causing my problem. I do not seem to have the issue I am having when I install SQLExpress 2005 outside of my installer.
To see which, if any, command-line parameters are being passed to a prerequisite: In the Redistributables view, select the setup prerequisite. Then read the Details pane on the right. (The Details pane is probably hidden by default. You may need to "unhide" it by clicking the Show Details hyperlink in the upper-right corner of this view.)
The Details pane has two settings that show command-line parameters that are configured for the prerequisite:
Command line for the application
Command line for the application when setup is run in silent mode
I believe that the first one is used if your main installation is run with the user interface. The second one is used if your main installation is run silently (with /s).
