Install SQL Server 2005 with custome App
-
Hi I am creating an application that need sql server 2005 express. Now I need a separate sql server instance in the computer. to do this i have tree option 1) first install sql server then application. 2) first install Application then sql server. I cant go with these options . Bcoz i need to install the sqlserver atthe time of insatlling the application .I mnean in same msi file. But i cant do this either. bcoz i am unable to run a msi from another msi. I can write a cusome installer and run the sqlsvr32 file but it will throw the avobe error . Is there any option of installing the sql server from a dll or somthinglike wrraper with the msi of my application so that there will not be any kind of user ui shown for the sql sserver installation. Thank u.
