I have a windows forms application, that i want to deploy as installation project using visual studio 2010.
I am using SQLite database and i want to create a connection string while the installation to the installation directory.
On the other hand, i do not know should i attach my empty database to the install project or i have to create it while the installation?
I found lot of web sites, but none of them helped.
Thank you in advance all the help and please refer helper links in this topic.

If you need advanced features (like an SQL connection), I recommend a different setup tool:
