Nits

I know how to create setup file in c# but what I want to ask is that after creating setupfile of my proj will it run on other system??

I have a database attach to my application & database is created in SQL SERVER 2005. So will it run on other system if there is no sql server install in it. Any help????

No your application won't work if SQL Server is not installed in it and if your setup does not install SQL Server. You could inlcude SQL Server Express with your setup but that will be a waste if a system already has SQL Server installed.

So I suggest you read articles in this web site. You should find the answers here; you probably do not need to go to other web sites. My guess is that a good solution would be for your software's requirements to include SQL Server as a requirement and you could provide instructions for installing SQL Server Express.

Hi Nits,

To Create a Setup Go to Solution Explorer --> Add New Project -->Setup and Deployment -->Visual Studio Installer -->Setup Project Name it.and then
To add an existing setup project to a solution

1.On the File menu, point to Add, then click Existing Project.

2.In the resulting Add Existing Project dialog box, browse to the location of the setup project and click Open.

Build the Solution.

It run on other system until the sql and the Sql Server is accesable to that user.

Thanks,
Prasant
