Re: Deployment with SQL2K5Express

The app is not in a final state yet.  I was hoping to use clickonce to
allow the guys here who will be testing the app to quickly and easily be
able to get updates.  The test installs won't need to be shared between
users of the same machine.  

Any comment on the article or embedding SQL2K5 Express as it suggests?

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?
