Hi,
I've got a question - what is the best way, to make a setup file for application like: Windows Service + Windows application (to setup service) and database.
In windows service i use entity framework to connect to database.
Is it possible to install service, application and database with one wizzard ?

Take a look at InnoSetup[^] or Installshield[^]...

They are good installers and the first is also free.

HTH, good luck!

Yes definitely you can. Take a look at WiX. I believe that its the simplest way to have a good installer.
