VS2013 ISLE: Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Express SP1 LocalDB prerquisite not installing

Using VS2013 and InstallShield 2013 Limited Edition to create an installation package to deploy a .NET Framework 4.5 application that uses a SQL LocalDB database.

Ticked the "Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Express SP1 LocalDB (x64)" prerequisite in the Redistributables but when the Setup is run it does not install it. It was tested on Windows 7 with .NET Framework 4.5 already installed.

Is there anything else that needs to be done?

Thanks in advance,

We have spotted the issue we were having installing the SQLLocalDB 2012 on Windows 7.0.

The InstallShield Setup Prerequisite file "Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Express SP1 LocalDB (x64).prq" specifies Windows 7 SP1 as the minimum requirement. It is possible to manually install "SqlLocalDB.MSI" on Windows 7 without Service Pack 1 and it works correctly. Our previous VS Deployment Project was able to deploy SQLLocalDB to Win7-64bit without a Service Pack.

The InstallShield Setup Prerequisite file for 32 bit version "Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Express SP1 LocalDB (x86).prq" has Windows 7 (without Service Pack) in the operation system conditions.

Are the operating system conditions for "Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Express SP1 LocalDB (x64).prq" correct in requiring Win7 SP1?

Hi,

The Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Express SP1 LocalDB (x64).prq Redistributable, supports the following operating system:

Supported Operating System:

Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, Windows Server 2012, Windows Vista Service Pack 2

So, you can manually install this .prq file on Windows 7 (without SP1) as well.

Hope this helps.

Please let us know if you need more information on this.

Thanks,
