Hi,
i have developed and application in VB.net 2005 targeting framework 2.0 and database as sql server express 2005.
Now i want to install it on a windows xp machine which do not have framework and sql server express 2005.
There is a way that i can install sql server express and framework independently on the system and then install my application.
But help is needed here that i want to include the setup of sql server express 2005 and framework 2.0 into my application setup. i.e. when my setup run it will check for both prerequisite i.e. sql express and framework, and if not found it will install from the setup that are included as part of the setup of my application.
Can anyone provide me steps or a tool that can build such setup.
thanks in advance for all your valuable comments.
Regards,
Amol
