Hi,

>
I've seen a thread relating to it but I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do with the fix which was seemed to be .

"d:\msde\setup" /settings "SETUP.INI " SAPWD=SA /qr

I think I'm being a bit dense here but could someone supply me with the idiots guide to what I'm supposed to do here.

Don't know if this works but you could just try:
setup SAPWD="MyStrongPassword"

See "Customising Desktop Engine Setup.exe" in MSDN library for more stuff.
