[wix-users] Installing windows SQL 2016 Express fails to extract

[Carlos Sosa]

I tried that because it was the only reference to "a" for in the documentation, but that didn't work. I removed that (I forgot to remove it from the example)

Still tries to install to the programdata.

Why are you doing this? /INSTALLSHAREDDIR=C:\ /INSTALLSHAREDWOWDIR=C:\ A) Your assuming that a C drive exists. B) Your saying that both the 64 bit and 32 bit shared components should go in the root of the C drive. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/database-engine/install-windows/install-sql-server-2016-from-the-command-prompt -----Original Message----- From: wix-users [mailto:wix-users-bounces at lists.wixtoolset.org] On Behalf Of Carlos Sosa Sent: Wednesday, May 31, 2017 11:34 AM To: WiX Toolset Users Mailing List Subject: [wix-users] Installing windows SQL 2016 Express fails to extract Hello I'm trying to install SQL 2016 express but it fails What I can find is that when I run the exe by itself, the default directory to extract to is: C:\c4b06d43e620d8498596a0060e\ But when I run it with WIX: C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\1FDD945052F4A4B0CC9C8F1CC12385F85EB80D96\Installing SQL Server Express 2016\ Installing on ProgramData Fails, I can't find where to change this, any idea, please?
