SQL 2005 Express, SQL Express Manager and SQL Script

Hi there!

I'd like to let the user install SQL 2005 Express (newer version of MSDE2000) and the SQL Express Manager with one Setup. If I add these Setups as Custom Actions, it Runs these Actions, but fails because then there are two instances of Windows Installer running. How can I resolve this Problem?

The other thing is, that I'd like to execute an SQL Script (create needed Tables) on the installed SQL 2005 Express, using the same Setup-Project. Is it possible?

Thanks

Greetz

Hi,

You can set SQL 2005 Express and SQL Express Manager to be installed as prerequisites.

For more information about prerequisite please visit:

Regarding the second problem, you can run that SQL Script as a custom action. This custom action could be of "Launch File or Open URL" type.

Fore more details on custom actions please visit:

Please let me know if you need further help.

All the best,
