I just realized the .NET framework may also need to be installed and I did not see that option in the Inno Compiler site.<br />

Thanks

What version windows? It gets downloaded as part of windows updates. Or depending on version, user may have to go into programs and feature &gt;&nbsp;turn on feature for certain options. (i.e. .net 3.5) just give them installation pre-requisite instructions

I need a better way. I cannot ask the user to turn on a feature or download .net 4.5. Thanks again.

Your comment reminded me I have InstallShield and it will install dot net. <br />
<br />
My plans are to include the database mdf put it in the AppData / Roaming folder. So I gave you an &quot;Assisted Solution.&quot;

I have a Winforms project I want to distribute to others and I need to include the projects MS SQL Server database.<br />
<br />
If I publish the project there is only an application file.<br />
<br />
But I need to obfuscate the programs exe with Intellilock (which creates its own exe in a folder named Locked).<br />
<br />
How can I include the database when I distribute the program?<br />

Thanks

Include MS Database in Winforms Project using Intellilock

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.

.NET Programming

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).
