Can anyone share the installer script ? and the method to use it with the setup project in Visual studio 2008.

I am using C#.Net with SQL Server 2005, i have done with setup(My setup detects and install SqlServer 2005 Express Edition, dotnet framework and windows Installer 3.1) but when project runs it says that it cannot find the SQL Server.

Now i think that i need a installer script to attach my db file to the sql server to client PCs.

I am stuck here and need urgent help.

Solution 1

Add a new Installer[^] class to your project and make the operations you need there.

Then add the required custom actions [^]to your setup project, build and test.
