如何通过installshield附加数据库？

Question

i'm creating an install program by install shield 2010. i have 2 problem:

1. how can i make my installation to install SQLExpress as a prerequisite?

2. i add the following SQL script in Script tab in installshield SQL script part:

    Use master go CREATE DATABASE [DBClinic] ON (FILENAME =N'%appfolder%ClinicSoftware\\DB\\DBClinic.mdf'), (FILENAME =N'%appfolder%ClinicSoftware\\DB\\DBClinic_1.mdf') FOR ATTACH go 

while installing, it shows the this error:

  unable to open the physical file "C:\Program files\Clinic\DB\DB.mdf".
  operating system error 2: the system cannot find the file specified (5120)

this path is created during the installation. when i saw the error i checked the path, and it was there but when i accept the error and installation canceled, the install path vanish too.

if before completing the installation, the install path does not create physically, how can i attach my DB in during installation?!?!

Answer 1

I have the same problem when Im trying to attach a .mdf file, I have one solution, it is necessary to specify "Full control" permission for the .mdf and also for the installation directory (for the ´Authenticated users' group), then it worked. But i unfortunately need to do attach WITHOUT a permission setting. :-(((
