Silent install SQL Server 2012 on Server 2012R2

    I am trying to setup a silent install of SQL Server using a configuration file, I get partially though the install and then get an error saying illegal characters in path? My paths seem correct in that all exist on the system. I have uploaded the summary text file from the install and the ini (renamed to txt) that I used.

    One thing I am confused about when I look in the summary is that there are 2 configuration files listed in it.... the one I was using and the default during an install.

    Any help or insights would be greatly appreciated

    Yowch! Good eye. It's things like this that just aggravate the hell out of me. How hard would it have been for them to accept either?
