Depending on what you use for setup you could probably embed the installer and then execute it before/after your application’s installation.
However, don’t forget to make it optional.
For example, I have both MySQL and PostgreSQL servers running in my local network so I would never install any of them on my local windows machine but rather make applications requiring a database server connect to the existing one. In such a case a forced installation would be annoying.
