    Default create install file without the need for user to install SQL server

    I have a project that i have created in Visual Studio express and SQL server express. i want to create an install file so that i can send to others to install. Currently it is requiring the user to install SQL server Express and 3.5 .net framework.

    what steps can i take to stop the user having to install these 2 so that it is a simple install for them.

    Thanks

    Both should already be checked as prerequisites by default, in which case the installer takes care of everything about checking if they are needed at client, and if so downloading them from MS and installing them before your app.

    Is there any way to create the app so that the DB and table contents are embedded in the install file so that the user does not need to install SQL server.

    it's a generally available application that i want to create and need a simple install process.
