I use InstallShield 2010 to create my setup.

My program needs SQL Server 2008 Express. So I added "Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Express SP1 (x86)" in the redistributables section.

Then in "Edit Prerequisites" => "Application To Run" tab, I insert this statement in a textbox:

SQLEXPR32_x86_ENU.exe /qs /ACTION=Install /FEATURES=SQLENGINE /INSTANCENAME=MSSQLSERVER 
       /SQLSVCACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM" /SQLSVCPASSWORD="YesYes"  
       /SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS="Builtin\Administrators" 
       /AGTSVCACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITY\Network Service" /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS=true

But when I run the setup, after some minutes I see this message and SQL Server 2008 Express isn't installed.

Now how can I completely install SQL Server 2008 Express in silent mode?

I am not sure /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS requires a boolean value at all?... I just include the statement, without a parameter value and it works.
