Hi murat,

From the error information, 'Windows Installer 4.5' might not be installed successfully. You need to check whether there is a WindowsInstaller3_1 and WindowsInstaller4_5 in this folder "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages". If not, you need to reinstall windows installer 3.1 and 4.5. You can also copy the directory form other machines if windows installer is installed successfully on that machine.

Hi murat,

It is a little different to SqlserverExpress. We need to insert an "en" to the path. For example, directory
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages\SqlExpress\sqlexpr32.exe" needs to be changed to
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages\SqlExpress\en\sqlexpr32.exe".

Sorry for being late. Due to working conditions I could not write to you.

First of all, your reply helped me a lot. Unfortunately, it has not solved my problem yet. By applying the logic you proposed, I havesolved 8 errors out of 12. But Same logic does not help errors related to sql. Do you have any idea why I can't apply same logic about sql. Here is what I did to solve my problems:

First, I havedownloaded SQLEXPR32 file and pasted into C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages\SqlExpress folder and
Secondly,again Idownloaded SQLEXPR32_x86_ENU and SQLEXPR_x64_ENU files and pasted them bothinto C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages\SqlExpress2008 folder.

Please help me. Here are my last three problems. Thank you in advance for your beneficial thoughts.
