Unattended Installation of Multiple instances of SQL2005.

  • I am doing an unattended installation of SQLServer 2005 multiple instances (APP1, APP2) using packages. Everything goes successfully and reboot takes place. But after reboot, i see only one instance APP1 in the SQLServer Configuration Manager and also all the services in stopped state. APP2 has got deleted. Why like this ?

  • What do the SQL Server install logs say about this? They should confirm if the second instance was installed, and may give a clue as to what caused the uninstall.

    It is also worth checking in Windows service manager applet to see if the SQL services exist. If SQL Config Manager WMI calls fail it may not find all your services, but the Windows tool uses another method to show what services exist.
