SQL Server 2008 R2 Quiet Installation Failure
- by pk
I've downloaded the SQL Server 2008 R2 software from Microsoft and am working on scripting a silent installation. I'm getting the following errors (and the duplicate paste job is not an accident, that's how it shows up for me)
The following error occurred:
Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.
Error result: 1152035024
Result facility code: 1194
Result error code: 43216
Please review the summary.txt log for further details

Hopefully someone can help me work through this. Here is a simple version of my PowerShell code.
$arguments = @()
$arguments += "/q"
$arguments += "/ACTION=Install"
$arguments += "/FEATURES=SQL,Tools"
$arguments += "/INSTANCENAME=MSSQLSERVER"
$arguments += "/SQLSVCACCOUNT=`"$NetBIOSDomainName\$SQLServerServiceAccount`""
$arguments += "/SQLSVCPASSWORD=`"$SQLServerServiceAccountPassword`""
$arguments += "/SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS=`"$NetBIOSDomainName\$SQLSysAdminAccount`""
$arguments += "/AGTSVCACCOUNT=`"$NetBIOSDomainName\$SQLServerAgentAccount`""
$arguments += "/IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS"
Start-Process "$SQLServerSetupLocation\setup.exe" -Wait -ArgumentList $arguments -RedirectStandardOutput error.txt
