When I run this command

osql –S(local)\SQLExpress –E –i”instnwnd.SQL”

I get the following message

Microsoft (R) SQL Server Command Line Tool

Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

Note: osql does not support all features of SQL Server 2005.
Use sqlcmd instead. See SQL Server Books Online for details.

usage: osql [-U login id] [-P password]
  [-S server] [-H hostname] [-E trusted connection]
  [-d use database name] [-l login timeout] [-t query timeout]
  [-h headers] [-s colseparator] [-w columnwidth]

No help from me, except that I have having exactly the same issue.
Anyone?
