Integrate SQLExpress 2005 Installation

  • How can we integrate sql express 2005 setup while creating setup in .net 2008 ?

    I mean, I have an application which uses sql 2005. I want to create a setup in .net 2008 which also installs sql express 2005 with my application.

    How can this be done ?

  • There are a few things that can help.

    http://sqlinstaller.codeplex.com aims to integrate the SQL install into .Net applications. My guess is that it provides some classes that act as a wrapper around the SQL install process.

    http://sqlserverfinebuild.codeplex.com/ can take a command generated by your install process and install and configure SQL Server. It will work on anything from XP to W2008 R2 (Win 8 coming soon), with everything from SQL 2005 to SQL 2012.

    http://sqlspade.codeplex.com is similar to FineBuild but is still in Beta
