title: Installing SQL 2012 Express Using Configuration.ini file
body: <p>I have created a configuration.ini file so I can do a quiet install of SQL 2012 Express.  I installed the full version far enough to get the configuration file.</p>
  
  <p>Every time I run my batch file that calls the config file I get the following error at the end of my Detail.txt</p>
  
  <p>(01) 2014-03-07 13:21:42 Slp: Setup result: 0<br>
  (01) 2014-03-07 13:21:42 Slp: SQM Service: Sqm does not have active session.</p>
  
  <p>I am using a new PC with Windows 8 and Visual Studio 2010 installed.</p>
  
  <p>This is my configuration file - can anyone see what I am missing.</p>
