Default SQLExpress re-distribution clarification - 12-30-2005 , 02:20 PM






Hello:

I have an application that uses SQLExpress as the backend database server. I
am planning on re-distributing sql express along with my application. One of
the re-distribution options that I am planning is to have sql express be
installed from my web site using click-once. The typical user experience
will be like this: User will run my app's setup and on one of the wizard
steps the user will be re-directed to a web site which will guide him with
sql express installation. At the end of express installation, my app's setup
will resume & will complete the installation. One of the caveats with this
redistribution option is that the user can cache the url for sql express
download/install page and use it for future installation without even
installing my app. So I'm concerened if this method of distribution is
allowed or not. Please clarify.

Thanks.
TW
