Solution

  • Ok, I found the solution...

    To display "Ready to install" window that allow you to get the path of configuration file follow the steps below:

    1- Unpack your SQL setup.exe to C:/

    2- Go to that dir via cmd and run: setup.exe /ACTION=INSTALL /UIMODE=Normal

    3- Go to the path in the red box and copy the configuration file.

    Hope this help.

    Thanks
