Hi,

Well i want to make a installation for my application, which would include only 3 files (.exe file and the database), but the catch is that i want the installer actually to add some data in one of the table in the database file (which is .mdf).

So any intro on how could i actually manage to do that?
(like maybe in visual studio 2008, or some other free program that makes setups?)

Thanks in Advance.

Using a Custom Action On Database during installation[^]

Custom Action[^]

The above methods explain as to how you can go about creating a new database during the installation. I think the same with some modification can be used to insert the details into Database.
