We require a deliverable and instructions for how to build again if need be (documentation) an MSI installer that allows us to deploy our SQL Server 2000 database to a customer server.
When running the MSI it should provide a UI that does the following:
1) Prompts for an SA Username and Password
2) Detects a list of available SQL servers and provides a list. This list allows the user to select an SQL server to deploy the database too.
3) After providing this information, the MSI should then install the database to the target SQL server.
Any database will do for now. Feel free to use the Microsoft Northwinds database in your example.
The most important part of this delivery is:
1) An MSI that deploys to the SQL Server of the users choice.
2) Step by Step documentation on how this was accomplished and built.
Thank you.
