I have a windows service that hosts a WCF service which uses a sql server express database. I also have a setup project to intall the windows service. What are the steps I need to take to make sure SQL Server Express installs silently and that the database is setup correctly?

It depends on the installer. Generally speaking, it will be a "custom action" in the installer. – Robert Harvey Jun 03 '10 at 22:46
