Error messages of return codes of SQL installer

Hi all,

I have one application through which i m installing SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.

If some failure occures, all I get is one exitCode which is a return code of SQL Express installer. Is there any way by which I can find out the exact reason of failure.

One example is error code 28062.

This error code is for "sql is unable to install on compressed folder / drive".

Please help

Thanks and regards,

-Anup

Are you using either encrypted or compressed drives where you want to install the edition on ?
