It's available as a Core PreRequisite (see attached screenshot).

Yes Don, I have done it. But you need to be aware of all the pre-requisites for
SQLExpress2005.

You need to test what version of Win is running on target machine.

If win2000 then you need at least SP3

If XP, you need at least SP2

Then you need Framework2.0 or better

You need to ensure they have IExplore 5.0 or better

and then they must have Windows Installer v2.0

and MDAC 2.8

and if all these are in place, you can install MSSQL Express

Then you need to have clients install the MSSQL Management Studio Express

Well, this is what I did to get it done at a couple of sites.

also, have a look at http://www.sqlkey.com/sql_cw_setup.html for some other
configuration tips.

The next task I then perform is to have clients run another program that restores a
mostly empty database into the server.

Oh, and you need the SB6 Developer edition for a couple of the runtime include
scripts.

Is there any SB6 script that does those pre-requisites checks and installs?
Or that means its impossible to do?

From memory, I think that 99% of the script code is already in the SB6 runtime
includes. I think the only lines I added were a few specific Windows Version tests,
and there are supplied examples for those.

Friedrich has already done it for you :-)
