Hi!

To Run My SQL versions, I have to have Microsoft Windows Installer 3.1 or
better (Is there a 4.5 version now?) on the PC.
Its difficult to check what happens, as I have no PC without.
If its checked, and the program is installed on a PC without Windows
Installer 3.1, what will happen seen from the user side?

Where is it documented?

OK, Looked into the .sbi script and felt a bit stupid:

Answer is, I belive:
If not present, installs the installer silent, reboots the PC and restarts
the installation.

Correct, if you have added the MSI31 Core PreRequisite to your project.

It's documented in the "rt_sql2005expr.sbi" include script.

If there is an SQL installation error (e.g. if MSI is not there) then it
will display the following error message:

> SQL Server 2005 Express Edition installation error detected.
>
> Error: %_SB_ERRORCODE%

We'll not provide a redistributable for "Windows Installer 4.5" because this
can only update an existing version of the Windows Installer service to 4.5.
Does not help if no Windows Installer is installed.
