Hi there,
I have written an app that is driven by a database running on SQL 2005 express version. What I would like to do is configure the setup "routine" so that it actually installs the SQL express first and then my app.
For the sake of the enduser I want to do this with one installation rather then making them go through two.
Not a huge deal, but I have never done this kind of deployment and I would like to know how it is accomplished.
Thanx
Moved To Application Deployment
sorry for the wrong place to post this first time around.
First you would need to use an installer that would support this. I don't think PDW would. You can use Inno Setup (along with **********) and run as many sub installations as you need.
I think i got it just using the VS app deployment. i still have to test it a bit more, but it seems to be initiating the sql setup if it is not detected as already installed. thanks though
