Using following function to Sql Express using Nsis But getting error while running this function named InstallSQL the function is shown below
Function InstallSQL

FunctionEnd
below is the image of error
I know it's too late to answer, but it will be helpful who refer this page.
I have installed SQL Express 2014 SP1 with silent installation using nsis script which works successfully.
Function InstallSQL
ExecWait '"$temp\SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU.EXE" /Q /ACTION=Install /SkipRules=RebootRequiredCheck /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS /FEATURES=SQL,SSMS /INSTANCENAME="SQLEXPRESS2014" /SQLSVCACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITY\Network Service" /SQLSVCStartupType=Automatic /AddCurrentUserAsSqlAdmin /ENABLERANU=1 /hideconsole /SECURITYMODE=SQL /SAPWD="Sql#1234" /AGTSVCSTARTUPTYPE=Manual /NPENABLED=1 /TCPENABLED=1'
FunctionEnd
Note: You can specify setup location instead of $temp

I'm desperately trying to install SQL Server Express 2017 with Inno Installer.
Within my installer I include the extracted installer files.
That means that I already executed the common SQLEXPR_x64_ENU.exe, to avoid the "extract-temp-folder" prompt while my installer is running.
I execute the following on the cmd:
{somePath}\SQLEXPR_x64_ENU\setup.exe /ACTION=Install /Q /SKIPRULES=RebootRequiredCheck /SUPPRESSPRIVACYSTATEMENTNOTICE=1 /IAcceptSQLServerLicenseTerms=1 /SECURITYMODE=SQL /SAPWD=secretPW /ConfigurationFile=ConfigurationFileExpr.ini
The install succeeds.
But when I do the same within my InnoInstaller-File like this:
...
[Files]
Source: "SQLEXPR_x64_ENU\*"; DestDir: "{tmp}\SQLEXPR_x64_ENU"; Check: not SQLExpress_Check; Flags: recursesubdirs;
[Run]
Filename: "{tmp}\SQLEXPR_x64_ENU\setup.exe"; Description: "Installing SQL Server Express 2017..."; StatusMsg: "Installing SQL Server Express 2017..."; \
Parameters: "/ACTION=Install /Q /SKIPRULES=RebootRequiredCheck /SUPPRESSPRIVACYSTATEMENTNOTICE=1 /IAcceptSQLServerLicenseTerms=1 /SECURITYMODE=SQL /SAPWD=secretPW /ConfigurationFile=ConfigurationFileExpr.ini"; Check: not SQLExpress_Check; Flags: runascurrentuser;
...
SQL Installer fails with the following error:
Exception type: System.MissingMethodException
Message:
Method not found: 'Void Microsoft.SqlServer.Chainer.Infrastructure.RoleService.Initialize(Microsoft.SQL.Chainer.Product.RolesType)'.
HResult : 0x80131513

Is this a permission error?
I do not have a clue.
On cmd-shell it works, but not on InnoInstaller.
Thanks in advance for your efforts and have a nice day.
Solution for me was provided by Gavin Lambert on the Inno Setup Forum :
If you're [installing from the directory of unpacked files], you need to use {sd}\shortname as the DestDir (usually combined with deleteafterinstall) -- you can't put the files in {tmp} or any similar path as the files are very deeply nested and the db installer ends up failing to access some files because the path is too long.
If you use an unpacked installer file, here is what should work absolutely perfect.
SQLEXPR_x64_ENU.exe /x:%temp%\SQLEXPR_x64_ENU\ /QS /ACTION=Install /SKIPRULES=RebootRequiredCheck /SUPPRESSPRIVACYSTATEMENTNOTICE=1 /IAcceptSQLServerLicenseTerms=1 /SECURITYMODE=SQL /SAPWD=secretPW /ConfigurationFile=ConfigurationFileExpr.ini
In the above command, /x:%temp%\SQLEXPR_x64_ENU\ is the very important switch where it describes the extraction location and with combination to /QS it will show you the progress on screen but will not ask for any input.
You may have to change %temp% to appropriate command to grab a windows temporary folder in your installer. The command I have posted is good for command-line execution.
Enjoy! :)
I'm working on a windows 10 app but I've noticed that when I uninstall it it's icon remains in the notification & actions window. what would I need to do or add to my uninstaller to allow it to remove this icon. This is what what uninstaller look like in my .nsi script

The best solution is probably to have your application hide the notifications since it already contains notification code. Run something like ExecWait '"$InstDir\MyApp.exe" /uninstall' at the start of your uninstaller.
It might be possible to use one of the IToast* interfaces with the System plugin but there is a lot of code needed and I don't know if Windows let's you pretend to be another application by using its Application Model Id. For example, MSDN has this to say about IToastNotificationHistory::Remove:
The app ID of the app that sent the specified toast notification. This app must be part of the same app package as the app making this remove request.
MSDN also has this to say about desktop apps:
Generally, sending a toast notification from a desktop app is the same as sending it from a Windows Store app. However, you should be aware of these differences and requirements:
For a desktop app to display a toast, the app must have a shortcut on the Start screen.
The shortcut must have an AppUserModelID.
Desktop apps cannot schedule a toast.
I have an NSIS install script which successfully installs an instance of SQL Server Express 2008 R2 on Windows 7, but when I later try to create a database from the install script I get an error saying access denied. My detailed steps follow.
I install SQL Server Express with my NSIS installer using the following:
ExecWait 'SQLEXPRWT_x86_ENU.exe /Q /ACTION=Install /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS /ROLE=AllFeatures_WithDefaults /SQLSVCACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITY\Network Service" /INSTANCENAME=SQLXXXX /SecurityMode=SQL /SAPWD="xxxxxx" /IndicateProgress'
Then within my NSIS installer I 'try' to create a database with the following:
ExecWait 'sqlcmd -S "computerName\SQLXXXX" -i "$OUTDIR\ASPNETDB_Create.SQL" -o "$OUTDIR\ASPNETDB_Create_Log.txt"'
The script ASPNETDB_Create.SQL fails at the first command in it which follows:
CREATE DATABASE [aspnetdb] ON PRIMARY
( NAME = N'aspnetdb', FILENAME = N'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.SQLXXXX\MSSQL\DATA\aspnetdb.mdf' , SIZE = 411392KB , MAXSIZE = UNLIMITED, FILEGROWTH = 1024KB )
LOG ON ( NAME = N'aspnetdb_log', FILENAME = N'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.SQLXXXX\MSSQL\DATA\aspnetdb_log.ldf' , SIZE = 1024KB , MAXSIZE = 2048GB , FILEGROWTH = 10%)
GO
I get the following error listed:
CREATE FILE encountered operating system error 5(Access is denied.) while attempting to open or create the physical file 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.SQLXXXX\MSSQL\DATA\aspnetdb.mdf'.
It seems the problem is that the folder 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.SQLXXXX\MSSQL\DATA' doesn't have any permissions set for user "NT AUTHORITY\Network Service".
If incorrect access permissions are indeed my problem, how can I set the correct permissions on the DATA directory where the database will reside?
You can change the ACL with the AccessControl plugin
I am evaluating InstallShield 2010, and am trying to set some command line parameters to the SQL Server 2008 prerequisite at user runtime. It appears that the prerequisite is defined entirely in the .prq files (xml-style).
Wise for Windows used WiseScript to call the prerequisite installations. InstallAware seems to have something similar, with their own scripting. Does something similar exist for InstallShield?
We use IS v12; I built a .prq file for the purpose (they don't supply a .prq for SQL 2008 for IS v12). First I went to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms144259.aspx to get all possible cmd line args. Then I used the IS PRQ editor to create the basic .prq structure. Then I hand-edited the .prq (xml) file for (a) easy minor adjustments in the future and (b) to simplify version control diffs.

Yes - by right clicking on the SQL Server prerequisite -> "Application to Run"' tab -> "Specify the command line for the application".
The only way I know how to do this is to write a Helper.EXE that the PRQ calls. The EXE would need to detect the windows settings and silently pass the correct arguments to the real Prereq EXE/MSI.
anyone have script or procedures to install SQL Server 2008 Express, set up the database for the app and finally install a client .NET WinForm application?
In situations like this where I'm relying on third-party products (SQL Server Express), I tend to use command-line driven installs (either directly in a cmd file or called from a 'proper' install tool). This site shows you how to install Express from the command line, then you can use the SQL Express utility for object creation. This method is 'blessed' by Microsoft.
Sometimes the simplest solution is the best, even if that means getting the user of my product to install SQL Express separately before running my install. Well, best for me, anyway :-)
The following script will check for the full version of SQL Server 2008 R2. If full version is already installed, then it skips installing the SQL Server. If the full version is not installed, then it checks for the SQL Express edition. If it is already installed, it will skip the installation. If it is not installed, then it will install SQL Express 2008 R2.
Create a new script. Let's name it sql2008express.iss with the following content
[CustomMessages]
sql2008r2expressx86_title=Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Express Edition x86 (Including Tools)

// If the full version is not found then check for the Express edition
RegQueryStringValue(HKLM, 'SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\SQLEXPRESS\MSSQLServer\CurrentVersion', 'CurrentVersion', version);

end;
end;
end;
In your script then just include the script i nthe [Run] tag and call the previous created script in the [Code] tag like below:
[Run]
`#include "scripts\sql2008express.iss"
[Code]
sql2008express();
Other notes:
- If the setup kits for the SQL are found in the same folder then it will use them, if not, they will be downloaded from the Internet.
- Sorry for the formating, it doesn't work. Copy/paste it in a text editor and format it. It is complete and working.
I hope this will help others too. :)
