April 18, 2006

Hi all

Now I want to create a 'Setup Procedure' that should install the application
as well as SQL Express into the client's machine. How do I embedd SQL
Express installation into the application setup procedure.

Thanks

In the early days of .NET development, I could react to user's hesitancy to download the Framework with reassurance that it would eventually be included in a future service pack. I also pointed out that once the Framework was installed, later .NET applications could be installed without another hefty download. I knew that any pushback I'd get would be moot in a few months when the Framework was integrated into Windows. I'm wondering if...

I wanted to install the SQL SERVER 2005 Express Advanced Services, because I wanted the import / export features of the data manager. I chose the route of deleting the template files and then installing, as my version of SQL Server express was part of the install, with Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition and I was not confident of re-installing just SQL Server Express. The install progressed quite nicely until I got the following...

Ok I have been slowely - and ever so slowely teaching myself VB.net Currently I have created an MDB file by code, and added fields to the MDB file by code. I like this solution because, ( im assuming ) if I create an EXE and I load an MDB file, I can see if certain fields are there, and if not add them. Kinda like an Update that is imbeded into the EXE, so you dont always have to create an Install shield.
