Web Setup Project & SQL

[Ryan]

How can I create a Setup Project in VS.NET similar to that of the
"PortalCSVS" project on www.asp.net which creates a database on a selected
server during setup? (I can create a DTS file or SQL setup queries, I just
need to know the best way to deploy them)

thnx

yourself. You can kick off the application using a Custom Action in
the Setup project. Here is an article to start with:
