is this a .net 2.0 product? If so, can't you package the .mdf and .ldf sql database & log files with your app and use the new connection string options on the System.Data.SqlClient to point to the database files and use those as your sql database instead of needing an installed instance?
lower performance...but this is a demo version right? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Frank Eden Sent: Saturday, November 24, 2007 10:05 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Detecting Which version of SQL is installed Thanks for the prompt replies, much appreciated. I guess I should have mentioned why I wanted to install a database and why I wanted to avoid user interaction if possible, and that is because i want to install a 'demo' which just works out of the box. The more questions I ask, the more intimidating is that first impression. Fairly obviously I have a dependency on SQLserver for this demo, and thats bad enough, since it means I will probably have to have a SETUP.exe bootstrapper that installs SQLserverExpress if it or SQlserver isnt installed already. As for installing on a different machine somewhere, I will give that some thought, that would mean the customer doesnt need to have either installed on theiir machine, so there is some value in that. As Malcolm Fraser (a former Australian Prime Minister) once said "Life isnt meant to be easy". -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Detecting-Which-version-of-SQL-is-installed-tf4867935. html#a13932244 Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
