Just thought I'd post this here as a result of my learning experience with
this.
If your app uses the MSSQL Driver, you don't need to install an ODBC Driver
or Configure a Data Source.
I ended up going to Microsoft's Download site and downloaded the
redistributable: "sqlncli.msi".
I then added a "Run Windows Installer (msi)" near the end of my SB script,
used the "/quiet" switch.
It works well. Now it's up to my connection string to do the rest.
I've also noted I might need to do some checking to make sure that Windows
Installer exists on the target machine and install it if it doesn't.
Anyway, just thought I'd post my findings here to maybe save some other
"SetupBuilder Newbie" a headache and several hours of time doing research.
