Hello

I have an application, which is used to install sqlexpress in quit
mode(no user interface). It is working properly.

In that installation time i want to show some progress bar
movement to the user. How I have to do this.

Pl. give any solution.

Regards,
Raju.

I am not sure you can figure out exactly where it is in the install to
provide that information. You might fake it by exmaining the log and seeing
how its size compares to the finished log (on a machine where SQL Express is
already installed). This would be faking it, of course, but could work.

If you mean how do you bootstrap, there are articles on bootstrapping
external installs to an installation on MSDN.
