I am currently working on a project that include the use of SQLServer. I would like to know what strategy I should use when I install the software to build the database? I need to set up the tables, the stored procedures and the users.

Does my software need to make a check on start up to see if the database exist and then if it doesn’t, create it up?
Is there any way that I could automate this when I install SQLServer?

Thank you.

EDIT
Ok right now I have plenty of nice solution, but I am really looking for a solution (free or open source would be awesome) that would allow me to deploy a new application that needs SQLServer to be freshly installed and setuped to the needs of the software.

    You could use migration framework like Migrator.Net, then you could run the migrations every time your application starts. The good thing about this approach is that you can update your database when you release a new version of your software.

    Go take a look at their Getting started page. This might clear up the concept.

    I have succesfully used this approach to solve the problem you are confronted with.
