SQL Server Prerequisite
Hi,
I want to add a prerequisite for SQL server in my setup. If any version of SQL server (greater or equal to SQL Express 2005) is installed on client PC then it would not prompt for installation otherwise it will install SQL express.
Please let me know how I could achieve this.
Thanks

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSSQLServer\MSSQLServer
This key should be present in the registry if SQL Server is installed. Try opening the regedit.exe and finding this key to learn more about it.
Use Installscript functions like RegDBKeyExist to query this key. Then, according to the return values, proceed with your install.

Hi MSIYER
thanks for reply.
I am creating MSI installer, please let me know how I achieve this in MSI installer.
Also, suppose machine has SQL 2000 installed on it, then I guess this key exists there too. but in this case I want to install SQL 2005 express.
Thanks
