Using VS2005/Frameowork 2.0, I have been asked create a setup which will
install my app, SQL Server 2005 Express and possibly .NET Framework 2.0.
This will be a downloaded or CD based install, not ClickOnce.

Could anyone point me to a difinitive guide, hopefully with examples, on how
to accomplish this?
Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Michael

First of all, ClickOnce supports CD based installs

Anyway here's a general resource about deploying Express
