Hello Stanly
Yes, that's how I discovered the path for both a 32-bit and 64-bit system, from reading an article on line that listed the 2-registry paths.
I'm fine with creating the package myself. I've been reading the articles you provided in your links.
However, could you please tell me where or how I can find the "PublicKey's"that are associated with the install file. I noticed that there were 2-listed in the zip file you sent me; one with each install file, although they look like the same key.
I can't imagine that they're generic. If I were to use the file I've already downloaded, i.e., SQLEXPR_x86_ENU.exe where or how would I find the PublicKey that should be listed in the package.xml file?
As for why I downloaded the file that I did, my install of Visual Studio 2010 is a 32-bit install. Not sure if that matters.
Thanks
