the best way to be sure is to check the instalation log. However, it looks like a syntax error in the installation command line provided by webPI.

I downloaded and installed a package consisting of components

SQL Server System CLR Types
SQL Server Native Client
SQL Server 2008 Management Objects
SQL Server Express 2008 with Service Pack 1
SQL Server 2008 Management Studio Express
SQL Server 2008 Express with Tools

The 4th part "SQL Server Express 2008 with Service Pack 1" produced the following messages in the logfile:

DownloadManager Information: 0 : Install exit code for product 'SQL Server Express 2008 with Service Pack 1' is -2068578303
DownloadManager Error: 0 : Install return code for product 'SQL Server Express 2008 with Service Pack 1' is Failure
DownloadManager Information: 0 : Product SQL Server Express 2008 with Service Pack 1 done install completed

What's the cure?
