  Im trying to set up a unattended sql 2005 installation using the ini config file.

  I have entered the PID, account info etc, but i keep getting the error:

  Invalid INI file. Make sure the file exists, have access and has the correct entries.

  I cannot see whats wrong, but i have a few thoughts. can anyone advise if a parameter is not requried, do i just leave its value blank or completely comment out the parameter?

  Figured it out. you need to use the fully qualified path to the ini file, even if your PWD is the one the ini file is in. strange!
