Hi ad:

Yes, most of those 3rd party installation tools, like Installshield,
have the capability to install ASP.NET apps, with database, configure
IIS, etc if you buy the right version.

You also might be able to do what you need with a Visual Studio Setup
project and custom actions. See:

hi ad,

You can very well use the setup and deployment package, you can create
custom windows forms and they can be displayed to the user, for example, a
custom form can be designed with 4 text boxes for the SQL parameters, and on
click of a button you can create the required connections.
Or if u have some scripts to be executed, you can add a custom action to the
installer and add the OSQL.exe to the custom action and pass the script to be
executed.

Also MSDE can also be added to the installer as a merge module.
a little of googling can also help in knowing how to use the merge module
and others.

Hope this helps..
