SQL Server express prerequisite conditionally

Hi,

Some day ago I discover the "magic of clickonce deploy"... so, I can install sql server express in my setup project only check an option on prerequisistes for that!

I´d like to create just one setup to install server version, and client version... So, when I install a client version I don´t need to install SQLServer!

Is there a way to make conditionally the sql server express installation when it was checked how a prerequisite??? remember, I want to create only one setup to install both kinds...

I hope my question is clear...

Thanks.

The only way to do that with ClickOnce is to create your own installation package for those prerequisites and have IT handle the selection, then add that installer as a prerequisite to your ClickOnce application by using the Bootstrapper Manifest Generator.

Hi RobinDotNet,

I really appreciate you answer, but I´ve never heard about bootstrapper manifest generator! Can you give me some article link, or example especifically about my case to help me?

Thank you very verymuch!
