    The funny thing is If I do an install via SQL Install wizard I can add the 2nd instance no problem. The only thing I am changing is the instance name. I changed to instance name sql2 for silent and no luck but via wizard I use sql3 for instance name and it works fine. Seems it has something to with when the instance name is appended to the service account. I see the below in the logs for non working silent install. Im not sure why its asking for a password for 'NT Service\ReportServer'
