3.Custom form open to set some DB settings in config

Please help.

If this is not possible , can you advice any other methods to achieve this.:)

Hi,

This could bo very help full.

Open the Prerequisites dialogue and check the SQL Server Express package, then add a Custom Action to your Setup project to perform configuration.

Can you give me an example of how to add custom action for SQL configuration.

The MSDN documentation can tell you how to add a custom action. If you have a specific issue with the instructions it provides then by all means post it. You'll be writing VB code just as you would for the app proper.
