Hi Guys

I'm writing a C# application that uses a SQL database to store Telemetry Data.
I need to create an installer that will install the application, including the .mdf Database files.
I'd also like the installer to include install files for SQL Server 2012

I'm writing the application in Visual Studio 2012

Pick a software package to create your installer with, read the documentation for whichever install creation package you choose to use.
