I have developed a WPF app which is using .Net (Framework 4.5) and SQL server 2012. It works perfectly fine, but I am having a problem when I try to publish this app using the one click approach.

I placed dotnetfx45_full_x86_x64.exe in the DotNetFX45 folder and SQLEXPR_x64_ENU.exe,SQLEXPR32_x86_ENU.exe in SqlExpress 2012.

Now when I set prerequiste as .NET Framework 4.5 and SQL Express 2012 it gives me following error:

"Error 4 To enable 'Download prerequisites from the same location as my application' in the Prerequisites dialog box, you must download file 'SqlExpress2012\SQLEXPR32_x86_ENU.EXE' for item 'SQL Server 2012 Express' to your local machine. For more information, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=239883."

"Error 5 To enable 'Download prerequisites from the same location as my application' in the Prerequisites dialog box, you must download file 'SqlExpress2012\SQLEXPR_x64_ENU.EXE' for item 'SQL Server 2012 Express' to your local machine. For more information, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=239883."

Any help will be appreciated

  • @CristiC777 No if you can solve it let me know :) – Safi Mustafa Jun 02 '15 at 16:06
  • Did you ever solve this? Also, I noticed you have a space in the folder you said you placed it into and the message has no space - could this be it? ('SqlExpress2012') – Panh Jul 13 '15 at 03:17
  • Putting the SQL installer files in the "en" subfolder, i.e. SqlExpress2012/en/SQLEXPR_x64_ENU.EXE (contrary to the error message which says SqlExpress2012/SQLEXPR_x64_ENU.EXE) fixed it for me. – Chaz Feb 04 '16 at 18:55

  1. Locate the folder (for 32 bit OS) C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v8.1A\Bootstrapper\Packages\SqlExpress2012\en. (For 64 bit OS) C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v8.1A\Bootstrapper\Packages\SqlExpress2012\en

  2. Open file package.xml

  3. Locate <String Name="SqlExpr32Exe">http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=230852&amp;clcid=0x409</String>. The link may vary in your copy. Copy the link and paste it in your web browser. A save file dialogue box will appear. Click on Save. After downloading the file, paste it in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v8.1A\Bootstrapper\Packages\SqlExpress2012\en\

  4. Locate <String Name="SqlExpr64Exe">http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=230853&amp;clcid=0x409</String> and follow the same process as described in point 3.

Try to re-build the setup project again.

I relocated SQLEXPR_x64_ENU.exe and SQLEXPR32_x86_ENU.exe to this location and fixed for me :
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\SDK\Bootstrapper\Packages\SqlExpress2012\en
