Which of these SQL's will be easiest to install using SetupBuilder.
So that one can send of a CD or have a web download file whereby your
end-user can easily install the app and the DB.

SetupBuilder can handle virtually any type of application (the SetupScript
installation language gives you the power and flexibility).

But there is a (built-in) "Core PreRequisite" for SQL Server 2000 and SQL
Server 2005 Express, so MS SQL 2005 Express installation can be done with
one mouse click.

Thx!

In other words:
Not so easy for FireBird and PostGreSQL?
I am "forced" to use MS' products<g>?

It is so much easier for your user to use MsSQL .... no special setup for
PostGreSQL (case sensitiveness for example etc ...)

Johan,

Since Postgresql for Windows has its own msi installer, I simply call it
from within my SetupBuilder install, giving it some parameters. It's
not so bad :-)

If you haven't seen this yet, here's a link to how to do a postgresql
silent install:
