Is there a way to package SQL 2012 Express to install with 8.3 pro?
We are a SQL only company. Currently when installing, I am install 6.2.1 on a machine and running 8.3 upgrade on top of it in order to get SQL to install, setup db instance etc automatically.
Is there a way to set the installer up to do this automatically with 8.3 to avoid having to do the upgrade? The problem with the upgrade is that its running SQL 2005 Express. I would like to push these upgrades with SQL 2012 express but I don't want to have to install SQL first, configure it, and then run db setup and install the client separately. I would like an all in one setup like the 6.2.1 currently is. Anyone else doing this?
