Hi All

I have a VS.2005 app which is deployed via a VS 2005 deployment project
(msi)

I have selected prerequisites of .net framework 2 and sql server express
under project properties and all works well when I run setup.exe

Is there a way to use a User interface dialog to allow the user to select
whether he wants sql server express installed or not?

Regards
Steve

I am afraid VS2005 setup project doesn't provide such function support this
feature, VS2005's bootstrapper doesn't expose the public interface for the
developers to customize.

Thanks!
