I need to create one installer which will install components on two different machines.

I need to create one installer which will install components on two different machines. Windows services and web services on “APP Server” and database part on “DB Server”. SQL Server 2005/2008 will be present only on DB Server.

I will have to run my installer on APP Server which will create database and will insert some static values in tables though SQL Server is not present there. DB Server and APP Server are in same network

Installer that I can create will do this stuff only when SQL Server is present on the same machine where installer is running. But not satisfies the above case.

Is it possible to implement it in this way?

    It is simply a matter of bundling a SQL script with the installer and executing the script by calling sqlcmd with ExecWait.

    We can run a script using a trusted connection via:

    sqlcmd -S _SERVER\_INSTANCE_ -d _DBNAME_ -i _SCRIPT_FILE_

    Or with a SQL Login:

    sqlcmd -S _SERVER\_INSTANCE_ -d _DBNAME_ -U _USERNAME_ -P _PASSWORD_ -i _SCRIPT_FILE_

    For performing actions on remote SQL Server engine native driver is required.In SQL Server 2005 or later the command line client is called sqlcmd.
