I am using Visual Studio 2010. NOTE: This IS a SQL Server question!
Recently I installed SQL Server 2012 Express with tools (SP3), which included the management studio. (SQLEXPRWT_x86_ENU.exe)
I created a Service-based Database (.mdf) using the management studio and added this DB to a C# WinForms App.
Now, I need to know how to include SQL Server 2012 Express SP3 as a Prerequisite in a Visual Studio 2010ClickOnce deployment
When I click on the "Prerequisites" button in Visual Studio, it lists SQL Server 2008 Express, but not the 2012 version.
I do notwant the end-user to install the Management Studio when including SQL 2012 as a prerequisite. Besides, it's over 1GB.
I thought about downloading ENU\x86\SQLEXPR_x86_ENU.exe but am not sure this would be the correct file to use as a SQL Redistributable file. And even it is 262.3 MB.
Please advise what is the Redistributable file for SQL Server 2012 Express with Service Pack 3, as this is the version of database I created for my App. Thanks
