VB EXpress and SQL Express Deployment

Hi there,

I'm making an application in VB Express with an SQL Express database, when I deploy my application to the end user will they have to have SQL Express installed for the app to work ?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Kind Regards

Andy

Hi Andy,

Yes, they will need SQL Express as well as the .NET Framework 2.0. When you deploy your application using ClickOnce publishing, these prerequisites are "bootstrapped" along with your application - that is, if they aren't already installed, they will be installed prior to installing your app.

Hope this helps,
