    Hi,

    I have a requirement where I need to install SQL Server in a folder on Remote PC whose path would be provided during installation.

    Can someone please help me ; how should I go about it ?

    You should be able to do this by running the setup.exe from the command line and adding the relevant switches. For example "TARGETCOMPUTER=" and "INSTALLASDATADIR".

    For even more granular control you could use an INI file with the setup.exe.

    You can tell the setup program to use an ini file by means of the "settings" switch like this:-

    start /wait setup.exe /qb /settings c:\template.ini

    An example of the structure of this INI file is attached.
