Deploying an app with SQL Server (installation on client machine)

[Annonymous Coward]

I have an app that will be using SSE as the backend database. My app
consists of several executables and libraries, I need to bundle all of
them together with SSE.

Ideally, I would like to provide a single installation file that
installs my program, and also the SSE database. Any
links/instructions/advice on how to go about doing this?

If using Visual Studio this is a relatively easy task. See the following
articles on using VS setup bootstrapper:
