Releasing .Net programs
-
Hello everybody, Months ago, I started having some fun writting a POS (Point Of Sale) system for Restaurants. But as I keep developing it, it got to the point that it is getting very reach in functionalities. So, I decided to go a little further. I decided to make some profit by sellling this software. I am using VB 2005 Express as my plataform and SQL 2005 as my database ( it can easily be switched from MS SQL 2005 to MS Access 2007). Since I am developing this POS sytem with VB 2005 express and SQL 2005 express, which can be downloaded for free from Microsoft.com, can I install my POS system on any computer and download the free downloaded SQL 2005 express on those computers? Or in the case of using MS Access 2007, can I just install the the run time files? Since I am just starting to open myself in the business world, I don't think I will be able to afford to pay for using .NET products. I already have made some budget for purchasing all the physical things for this POS System such as Computers, Label printers, scanners, etc... Is there any one who has gone through this experience? I will be glad to hear any comments from anyone of you. Thanks everyone in advance. Sincerely, Tommy4U aaquino04@hotmail.com

You need to check the redistribution rights for all libraries you use. SQL Express does come with an installer merge module, so there shouldnt be an issue there.

Yes, you can. Don't see why not.

Oops, my bad, I thought you took a shot at me.

No worries. I should have been a little more clear.
