I am doing a silent mode SQL Server installation by running my code, This is my code:

string fileName, commandLine = "";

fileName = string.Format(@"{0}\SQLServer\sql64\setup.exe", setupFolder);
commandLine = string.Format(@"PCUSOURCE={0}\SQLServer\sql64 /MEDIALAYOUT=Core /CONFIGURATIONFILE={0}\SQLServer\ConfigurationFile64.ini /ACTION=Install", setupFolder);
Process.Start(fileName, commandLine);

It runs fine and every file is extracted from the installer, after that it pops up an error message

enter image description here

As you notice, I added /ACTION in the command line

/ACTION=Install

Also I checked the configuration file and I found it.

Please help me .. this error killing me :(

Thanks in advance

A guess, its's consuming /ACTION ... as part of the configuration file path, swap them round. – Tony Hopkinson Apr 04 '15 at 09:14
Have you tried double quotes around the .ini path? – ErikEJ Apr 04 '15 at 09:17
@ErikEJ I tried to put double quotes but it give me syntax mistake, Can you help me to do that please .. Thanks – Abdulsalam Elsharif Apr 04 '15 at 09:35
The double quote is escaped as "" in your case. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5179389/at-sign-in-file-path-string – ErikEJ Apr 04 '15 at 12:19
