I'm deploying my Web project and in the requirements I mention that I need SQL Express Edition SP2 (x86) as you can see by the picture below

Problem is when the client has already Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP3 (this on a 64 bit machine)

when we try to install I get this error

Questions:

  • even thought I tell my Setup that client machine has to have SQL 2005 SP2 (x86), shouldn't it see that it already have a newer version, even thought it's 64bit?
  • How can I add SQL Express edition SP3 to the list of prerequisites?

You could create a custom prerrequisite to detect the presence of SQL Express SP2 or later, instead of specifically SP2, and add it to your install project. See here: Adding Custom prerequsites to visual studio setup project.
