Previously all my company's sql server databases have been created using a command line based script, using isql.

Does anyone know of any more customer friendly methods? I have thought of using the COM interface for DTS, and trying to integrate that with a product such as Install Shield.

Any suggestions/help would be appreciated.

Using a script is a good way - whether or not run by isql (or osql now). See the article on release procedures on www.nigelrivett.com.

You could use dmo which exposes it's objects and is meant to be used for this sort of thing.
