Re: Deployment with SQL2K5Express

i'm pretty sure ClickOnce "by design" performs per-user installs.  so if any
data in the database needs to be shared between users of the same machine,
clickonce may not be what you need.

Subject: [DOTNET-WINFORMS] Deployment with SQL2K5Express


I am working on a Setup Project that is to include an SQL2K5Express
named instance.  For the time being (at least), I am using the 'Publish'
(ClickOnce) option from the VS 2005 IDE.



There is a helpful MSDN document on Embedding SQL2K5Express into Custom
Applications (located here
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb264562.aspx ).  From what I
gather after looking through the article, the deployed application is
what is being used to do the SQL 2K5 Express install - perhaps from a
menu item?



For those of you deploying SQL2K5Express with your applications, what
have you found to be the most successful/easiest method?
