Sql Server Express Installation Problems
I'm new to using Installshield and I'm working on an installer that will install SQL Server Express and then run a C# program that loads tables. I've got the installer working all the way to the C# program, but the code fails if it just installed sql server express, but it will work if I run it outside the installer. Am I missing something with Installshield that could cause the program to crash?
thanks,
Robert Curro

Are you rebooting the machine after SQL express is installed but before installshield tries to run your application?
There are a lot of things that do not work right in SQL express after it is installed until after the machine is rebooted.
I assume you are using a prerequisite setting to install SQL express, you may want to make sure that the options to prevent a reboot are not being used when executing the SQL express msi. (i.e.: the /norestart option is not being used or the options for suppressing the reboot in the prerequisite definition file are not being used.)

Currently I'm not rebooting the machine. Everything is done through Installscript. Is there a way to reboot the machine using Installscript?
