Install SQL Server Express 2008 on Windows XP

[datafox.software]

Hi

I need to install SQL Server Express 2008 in Windows XP, Vista and 7.

I try to do this but in XP the installer always fails.

Do you have some sample of how to this, please I really need this installed, I know that could be more easy using version 2005, but all my work is in 2008 version of SQL Server Express. For now I'm doing this outside from MS, but is large and complicated for must users, I know that as part of the installer would be easier.

Of course the prerequisites must be NET Framework 3.5 and Windows Installer 4.5. Also check if SQL Server Express 2008 is already installer.

I have an installer working for my application but I want to install the SQL Server and my database and tables.

Can you give me an example (project sample) or instructions.

regards

Look at the built-in InstallAware runtime scripts for it. Customize as needed - you have the source
