Bit newbie to this but, I am trying to develop an application with vb.net and sqlexpress. My application works perfect it connects to database and shows data on datagrids and all. Now, i wanted to install this application on another computer..... so i added .net freamework and sql express 2012 in prerequisites and have added set up project to main project as well. when i built setup and used on another computer, installing process works with no errors but it does not install sql express at all. thus application does not work. I have seen lots of pages related to one click install with prerequisites and applied solutions but it seems it just does not work.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Honestly, I'd advocate for dropping Visual Studio Setup projects and learning something like Inno Setup. Once you get the hang of Inno Setup, installing dependencies is so much easier and cleaner.

Check this out. It's for SQL Server Express 2012 but the concept should be the same: stackoverflow.com/questions/19449975/…
