I need to create config file, so I could install sql server from cmd. I need basic server installation so I've downloaded SQLEXPR32_x86_ENU
I need to go through whole installation process til page "Ready to Install", where should be link to config file I need. BUT, there is no such thing in my installation setup window.
On microsoft webpage there is: http://i.msdn.microsoft.com/dynimg/IC505108.png
Although, the screen from MS is sql-server 2008.. How to get config file from installation sql-server-2012?
Here's my screen:

Ok, I found the solution...
When you have SQL Server 2012 EXPRESS edition, and you want to get ConfigurationFile.ini from your installation process, you have to:
1) Run downloaded exe, which will unpack your setup.exe to C:/231231231231...sth
2) Cancel installation. Go to that dir via cmd.
3) In cmd run: setup.exe /ACTION=INSTALL /UIMODE=Normal
Express edition is run in AutoAdvance which skips "Ready to install" and ConfigurationFile in general.. not sure why.
