Hello,

You can define your own InstallShield prerequisite for SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1. For details, see Defining InstallShield Prerequisites.

Thank you very much for your reply.

I stil need you help because I have little time to evaluate Installshied.
I must create a setup for a commercial product and I will decide within two days which software to buy.

The installation must allow me to:
- set .Net framework 4.0 and SQL server 2008 as prerequisites (if not installed on the computer of the customer must be installed)
- sql script can be executed to create and populate a database
- insert file .exe of my program and its dll.

What is the best way to do this things with InstallShield? Which type of project should I create(Basic Msi, Project Wizard)? There are tutorials that allow me to quickly understand the way to go?
