|Apologies if this comes through a couple of times.

|Hey Jeremy,
|
|Great questions!
|
|1. Sure, InstallAware itself is a Delphi app :) And I believe 
|some Interbase apps have been deployed also.
|2. Good :)
|3. Able to install SQL Server Express (any instance), able to 
|run SQL scripts on Oracle, MySQL, and MSSQL platforms.
|4. Quite easy to install a custom instance. Just check the 
|runtime and then click the Options button! That's all it 
|takes. You can test for a custom instance. You get 40% better 
|compression on the SQL installer size. You can web deploy just 
|the SQL installer. The instance checking looks for the service 
|name so its more reliable too!
|5. You can check for an existing instance. A pre-built dialog 
|shows you how.
|You can of course run scripts and attach databases.
|
|Sincerely,
|
|Sinan
