    I have shown you what you need to do, why not try some experimentation for yourself to see how you can vary that to your own needs?

    One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

      thanks for solution. but i dont understand where should i run that command or how to use that. My main Question is that : Is it possible to change "MSSQL.**x**" In this address "c:\Program Files\SqlServer 2005 for DWebPro\MSSQL.1\MSSQL" while installing sql express 2005 in command line? So that it wont generate it Automatically. I mean that i give that number while wanna install sql express 2005. Or More Clearly : I wanna change Instance Id and give my own Id while installing sql express 2005 ! Thanks in Advanced!

        Your big black writing is not appreciated, normal font size and weight is perfectly adequate for all questions. As to your query, I don't know if that will work, you will need to look at the instructions for installing SQL Express.

            As I said, you need to look at the instructions for installing SQL Express. Most products come with an installer that allows you to select the destination directory, but I do not know if you can do it with environment variables.

                That probably means that there is no option to provide what you want.

                  There's a difference between the installation path, and an install-ID. If I understand you correctly, you're having trouble identifying which of the Sql Server-instances that's on the machine is yours. Is that correct, so far?

                    Hi..thanks a lot...thats exactly correct but before installing i my self should give that value to sql express setup cause that value is static in my project.

                      You're explaining what you "want" the software to do, not quite what you're trying to achieve. One can install Sql Server from the command prompt[^]. That way you could also predefine in which directory the app will be installed. A word of warning here; you'll be working under the assumptions that you have read/write rights in that location, and that the location exists. Both assumptions would fail on a networked PC here. What's more, most machines already have Sql Server, and it'd be preferable to hook up the database for a new app to one of the existing servers. Your app would fail again if someone moved the database to a different server. Here's the catch; I'm still wondering why you need to "know" this path. It's defined at install, fine, you could have a custom action in there that writes to the registry where it'll be located. In fact, you can "ask" Sql Server for it's storage- and backup-locations. What kind of data are you storing in there, and what kind of app are we talking about?

                              You can use Google Translate to go from English to your language. There are no alternatives to the ones mentioned in the documentation. Hence, you'll have to find another way to do what you need.
