Chef code :

execute “starting SQL Server #{node[:sql][:version]} installation on windows” do
cwd node[:product][:location]
command ".\setup.exe /CONFIGURATIONFILE=#{responsefile}"
end

But when ran on server directly it works, anyone please help me to find the error

According to the log:

SystemCallError: The parameter is incorrect.

Try running with -l debug but I suspect the setup program doesn't like the mixed path scheme:

command ".\setup.exe /CONFIGURATIONFILE=c:\chef_download/ConfigurationFile.ini"

I can't swear, but I think the \ could be the problem here. I would get rid of the first .\ and use escaped backslashes \\ in the responsefile to have a single backslash on the executed command.
