  While i am installing sql server 2008r2 by using configuration file sometimes i am getting error in instillation due to system reboot checking. After restarting my pc sql server installing properly.Now i want to sql server setup to not look at pc is rebooted or not. In sql server 2005 i can do it by using /norebootchk. How can i do it in sql server 2008r2?

  Also while installing in silent mode by using quite=true i am getting a sql server command prompt while installing.(see image below) How can i avoid this command prompt appearing when i am installing in quiet mode.(in config file i am already using QUIET="True")

  I got answer for my own question

  To skip the reboot check:

  SkipRules=RebootRequiredCheck

  To hide the console window(which is shown in image in the post above):

  use /HIDECONSOLE in command line ot HIDECONSOLE="True" in configuration file.

  I have checked both and it works perfectly.
