Question and recommendation on installation packages

The best tool (IMHO) for delivering database installations

I received this question via email recently:

"I have developed an application using VB.net and SQL.
I have to create the setup file so that I can install this application on another system
 
Forgive me I am a naive programmer, but when I tried to do this using setup wizard, the database won't work.
Although it was running on my system but it is not running on other systems.
 
Kindly advise."

Earlier this fall, I wrote a whitepaper for Wise Solutions on almost exactly this subject.  The only difference is that this paper was geared for ASP.NET applications.  One of the best features in this application, for you, is it's ability to create and install databases on the target machine.  You should check it out, using the links below.
