Welcome to the forums!
Here's another one.
Sorry, I wasn't specific enough. I need to deploy sql server express.
I am creating a vb.net application to distribute.
This application requires sql server. I would like to have the end user install, in addition to the application, sql server express and run a .sql script to install the db and tables.
What is the best method to do this?

As for running the script, I would recommend doing that when your program is first run (and save a value in your settings so you know it has been done).
Or optionially create a backup of your empty database. Distribute that backup with the app. Include a method in your app to perform Backup and restore of database. Have the user perform a restore of the inital backup on first run of the application
