Added product SQLExpress to the install list
The following software is going to be installed:
EULA : 'SQL Server Express 2008 R2', which is owned by 'Microsoft', will be downloaded from 'http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?inkID=186784&clcid=0x0409'.
The license agreement to 'SQL Server Express 2008 R2' is available at 'http://www.microsoft.com/web/webpi/eula/sql_server_2008_r2_express.rtf'.
Accepted Eulas.

The "%programfiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Setup Bootstrap\Log\Summary.txt" folder stated above to contain the sql logs does not exist. There is nothing in the eventlog about this, nor have I found anything unusual using process monitor.
There is nothing except web platform installer (newest version) installed on the computer. The funny thing is that if i install it using the WebPI GUI, it installs fine. I've tried both with or without the /SQLPassword argument.
Any pointers on how to futher troubleshoot this? Is the source available somewhere (without using reflector) so i can run it from visual studio perhaps?
This is a known issue we found with SQL Express installs via the webpicmdline. As of now your workaround would be to use webpi UI to get SQL Express on your machine (like you already did)
We are currently investigating this issue and looking to release the msi with this fix. I can report back to this forum thread when that happens to keep you posted.
Thanks

Thank you for clearing this up. However, is it possible to get a test-build or something for this or the source so i can modify it mysef? (I'm a seasoned developer). I'm not able to use the Webpi UI because this is a script that runs on our customers' virtual
servers. We are running a large VPS company, and we're automatically provisioning websitepanel. Or are there any other workarounds? Thanks
We are working with the development team to find time to make a set of WebPICMDLine fixes and get them posted. At this time, I don't have a formal schedule I can share - sorry

I would be interested in this solution also. We are working to deploy this to our customers and the UI isn't an option either.
