Packaging a SQL Server database for installation as part of a custom application

Sep 30 2005 10:28 AM

Hi all,

 

          How to package sql server database as part of our custom application (VB application) using install shield or any software.

 

That setup should detect the presence of sql server. If sql server is not present in the client machine, then our set up should install the sql server and deploy our database.

 

If sql server is present in the client machine, then our set up should install our database alone. How to do that. Please help me.

 

Regards,

S.Sevugan.
