it's been 10 years since I last did anything with installshield, but if my memory serves me correctly you need the merge module for SQL Server in your installer project, that's as much as I know.

Look at the answers given for the similar question asked here[^].

Various article links are present in it that will help you achieve the same.

Have a look at these too:

If you're talking about a full SQL Server installation, there are no merge modules. SQL Server should be installed seperately.

If you're talking about the Express editions of SQL Server, merge modules for these editions have been deprecated since the release of SQL Server Express 2005. They don't exist any more.

You can deploy SQL Server Express with your app by reading this (2005)[^] or this (2008)[^].
