    Packaging a SQL2005 application

    I've created quite a few .Net apps we use locally and I generally just
    publish them as ClickOnce applications to a network drive. Now I'm being
    asked to make my app portable to other networks/companies. So I want to
    create a setup program on CD/DVD. The hurdle here is that my apps are often
    database driven and use SQL2005 as the backend. I'm not sure how to go
    about doing this and just looking for a point in the right direction. I'm
    currently using Visual Studio 2008 (Visual Basic), SQL 2005, and most of the
    apps were created with .Net2.0.

    Thanks,
    Ryan

      SQL2005, not SQLServer Express or SQLServerCE? (Just checking).

          We're using SQL 2005, not express. That could be one of the issues that
          other companies may not have SQL 2005 or a dedicated database server. Would
          SQL Express be a viable solution for networked applications with say 5-10 or
          possibly more users? I've created a SQL query to create the database and
          tables, is there any way to package this query in the Install setup?

          Thanks,
          Ryan
