Hi,
I need to install SQL 2005 Express Edition with my software program.
First I tried by just adding the SQLEXPR_ADV.EXE to a custom action. This does not work since I already have an installation running. At least that is the error message that I get.
So now to my question. I install this file to the same directory as my application and then I want to run it from there. How do I do this?
Is there anyone else having this kind of problem with SQL?
I appreciate any help that I can get.

You should use an external exe to run your install and the SQL install sequentially. Some setup tools can do this (e.g. InstallShield's Prerequisites).

You can install sql from bootstrapper or from msi, but it should placed in UI sequence.

Given that SQL Server is *most* likely to be installed in a corporate environment and that most such environments push installs silently, how will your method work?
Remember also that nested MSIs are now universally regarded as A Very Bad Thing.
