Distributing MSDE with Database application

[David]

I have a database application running on my development machine and now want
to distribute the application to a third party.

Would someone mind please explaining how I can modify the Setup Solution to
distribute MSDE with the application. And, doe sthe third party need to then
manually install MSDE and create the same instance or will the deployment
solution install MSDE with the same Instance automatically.

Thanks in advance.

Lookup boostrap and .NET Framework on the MSDN site. There is an article on
boostrapping the .NET Framework to your apps. You can use the same
methodology to boostrap MSDE to your application.
