You are now ready to Install ILookPI if you pass one further test.
The last test is to run the cmd prompt : C:\sqlcmd -L
This should return your machine name and instance sqlServer name (SQLEXPRESS) at that prompt. The installation is now 100% complete, awaiting only an ILookPI.EXE installation to complete the process.
