I’m creating a setup using Inno-setup.
During the setup process, a SQL Server database has to be created. I want to give the user the ability to select an existing SQL Server instance (if one exists), where the database has to be created.
So, what I want to do in the setup, is to query the network (and the local machine) for SQL Server instances.

Furthermore, when the user has selected an instance, I want to verify if there exists a database on that instance which has a specific name.

Anybody who knows how I can do this ? Or maybe someone could give me some pointers in the good direction?

    Inno Setup supports the call of external DLL functions, so you should write a suitable helper DLL. Managed .net DLLs can only be used via a COM interface, otherwise you need an unmanaged DLL.

    Valid calling conventions are: ‘stdcall’ (the default), ‘cdecl’, ‘pascal’ and ‘register’.
