How to embed a mysql database in an installer for a c# application

Jun 16 2012 2:45 AM
I have created an application that is using a mysql database. On my development machine I have installed WAMP and built the database and connected to it. I will need to create an installer for my application and want to incorporate the mysql database into the installer package. I have had training in SQL, but it was more or less syntax and structure. Unfortunately, I have no understanding of the DBMS and its internal workings. Likewise, I have experience with C# with syntax and structure, but have been left out in the cold on using Visual Studio to publish applications. 

Having said that, I have Googled until my fingers are sore trying to get information. There is plenty of information covering MySQL and C#, but nothing goes into detail on distributing the two together. I would love a walkthrough or directions to a good article or book discussing the topic. The books I have really lack detail on publishing C# applications. They show general steps, but I need something detailed and specific. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
