[RESOLVED] distribute mssql 2005 express with setup and deployment project

[DirtyHowi]

project has a small local database and it apparently requires that i distribute the mssql express 2005 with it, but it's not coming up under detected dependancies in the setup project (no i dont want to do click once), do i add it as a file output??? or do i simply install it seperatly on the miniserver they have.

if you right click on the setup project, and go to properties.

hit the button marked prerequisites, scroll down and check installer 3.1 and mssql express, they install if not on the machine.

i tried doing it through custom actions, but it failed due to the install being in process at the time.
