Doubts about Visual Studio 2010 Setup Project

Question

I'm developing my first win app and I have some doubts about setup project.

I'm using LinqToSql with a local database file. I know that must add this database to the setup project.

But, if I install this app in another machine, this machine must have sql server express installed to run my app?

I've user 4.0 framework. Do I have to add the 4.0 installer to the setup project as well?

Thanks!!

If your application needs SQL Server Express and .NET Framework to run, you can add them as prerequisites to your installer. Visual Studio setup project should have them in the predefined prerequisites list.
