Deployment of SQLEXPR32.EXE using Template.ini file

[wstevens]

Hi all

I am deploying sql express as a prerequisite. I have created a custom prerquisite using bootstrap manifest generator. The problem I have is replacing the template.ini file which exists in the sqlexpr32.exe cab file. Winrar and winzip allow me to open the sqlexpr32.exe but will not allow me to edit, add or replace the template.ini.

I also cannot find the path where the sqlexpr32.exe extracts to as I want to use that path for the settings file eg "template.ini"

I want to be able to run the sqlexpr32.exe as follows

start /wait sqlexpr32 /qb /settings c:\template.ini

start /wait sqlexpr32 /qb /settings %Path to extracted template.ini"

can anybody help me or guide me into the correct direction
