When deploying applications our developers used InstallShield and include the following DLL's (for SQL Connectivity):
DBmsSOCn.dll
Ntwdblib.dll
Sqlgui32.dll
Sqlsvc32.dll
Sqltl32.dll
They don't think the average user needs Enterprise Manager so they don't want to use the standard SQL 7 Client install from the CD-ROM.
1. What approach would you take?
2. If you prefer to add the specific DLL's which ones are required to SQL connectivity?
TIA,

I use the MS Visual Installer that generates MSI packages. It parses the project file to find the dependencies - why figure it out when it can?:-) Unless you need EM or the Client Utility, installing the latest and greatest MDAC should give you most everything you need. The exception being if you are using components specific to SQL (replication or dts dll's).
