I have SQL Express and would like to develop an application using SQL
databases.  Can I distribute the application on any computer that has the
..net framework 2.0 on it without including SQL express in the distribution
package.  With access, this was not a problem as almost all computers using
windows had the Jet engine.

target machine.
