There are third party tools that I can use to convert my EXE into a shareware, and I can even do that programatically.My problem is that I want to put my application on a CD. Since it uses MS SQL Server 7.0 as the back end, I want the following things:- In case SQL Server is already installed on the system, I want that there should be a mechanism that would allow me to automatically add my database to the SQL Server. This is because I don't want that a database should be manually created and then be restored through the backup and so on.- Secondly, I want to destroy my database after a certain period of time. One solution to this, I suppose, is to do it through my application, by dropping all the tables.Suggestions?" |

| You need to take a look at licensing if your users don't have SQL Server. You should consider using MSDE. |
