I am trying to integrate SQL server 2012 install within my WPF C# (2010) application setup project. So that whenever my application is installing on a client machine, if would check for SQL server 2012 express, .net framework & crystal reports run time , if the client machine does not installed them. the installer file should install them on the client machine, and after that attach database MDF file.

I searched several times via Google, & try several solutions with no success. :(

Can anybody guide me come out of this problem.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Why would you do that? I cannot think of any reason why would that be handy for you or your client?

You can set your connection string with your mdf:

C# - Connect to MDF database[^]
