Right now, im try to install an app. AND use SQL Database Desktop Engine 2000
but , so far when i try to install my App in OS windows 8 or higher, then in the installation throw me an error of Compatibility, is for that, 'cause i need upgrade my Data base engine, and i think in SQL Express.
but when i install SQL Express 2016, this install in background some Apps Like:

SQL SERVER COnfiguration Manager.
SQL SERER Error ANd usaging Reporting
Etc.
etc.

The installation medium provides all the controls that you can use to easily control what is installed and what is not.

BTW, do you want to install it on client machine as well? If you want to install it for your application as a data source — and require clients to do the same — I recommend looking into other standalone options instead of having to install a full featured database engine e.g. SQLite, or even create your own CRUD-based data source.

Yes Afzaal Ahmad Zeeshan. i pretend to install on client side machine, and i need to be sure that my client, do not do things with that tools hahaha, you know if the client see anything or tool that he don't know, the client gonna play with that tool hahah just to know if that works. even if that crash or disconfigured the DataBaseConnections. but thanks for your comments. Best regards.

OK, I figured this out in about 15 seconds just by trying the Custom and Download Media options.

Yes, you can download just the core engine installation (411MB) and install that. Just click the Download Media button and click the "Express Core (411MB)" option. Give it folder to download to and that's it.

When you run the installation, be sure to turn off the Replication option if you don't need it. It's on by default.

Thanks Dave Kreskowiak. but the solution dont works for me. well.
When i uncheck the REPLICATION option, even with that action, still install all the Tools in a Folder SQL SERVER 2016. thanks for your time
Best regards
Well, the Solution that i did, was to Remove the Folder in Start up programs hahha
i know, this is not the best solution but, works for me, because i don't want that the client play with SQL tools
Thanks for your time guys
Best regards.
