Could anyone have experience in deploying MSDE with setup project in .Net?
I have an application written in C# which access SQL server locally. I want to make this app redistributable so that I want to use MSDE instead. I know MSDE can be installed silently while running my app's setup. How?
Thank a lot.

I don't know .NET, does it have a custom action feature to let you run install command? I have a VB application and deploy with InstallShield. I run this command in InstallShield to install msde right after my program installation completed:

msdex86.exe -a -s -f1 "c:\MyProgramFolder\msde\unattend.iss"
