Do not do that! What if client has SQL Server installed yet? You have to check if SQL Server instance exists and if it does not exists, skip installation process with message: "Please install MS SQL Server (2008 and up) first!".

Note: i do not recommend to install MS SQL Server via InnoSetup for set of reason. Two of them are:
1) user need to have admin privileges,
2) SQL server should be installed on server machine instead of local.
