Guys,
So far I read as much material as I could get on the web, but I am no where near a complete solution. So, any help would be greatly appreciated.
This is the problem:
Using an installer, I need to create an installation package to install Sql Server 2005 Express along with our software. We are using WIX (open to any other suggestions) to create .MSI package.
I read this article, but could not figure out how.

Has anyone here installed Sql Server with WIX? What version WIX do I need?
Let me know if the question is not clear, I'll add more info.
Any help would be great.
thanks,
_UB

If not WIX, is there any other software that would be a better or easier option?
thanks,

We currently roll out both software and a back end express instance. This can be run remotely or on the local machine. The user has to be an admin. I have been maintaining this for about 3 years. Maybe I can help you along. We do not currently use wix but instead run .sql files for creation and such. The application has the .NET SMO objects to create the DB. Then it just runs the DBA's script against the server. Then we use .NET BCP to push the data into the structures. we cannot use Bulk or BCP from SQL because of restrictions.
