BCM is primarily aimed at small businesses that want to use BCM on one
to five PCs, so a primary goal is make BCM easy to install; i.e., a
user simply has to run BCM Setup and all the necessary components get
installed, without the user running Setup having to know what an Sql
database is.

If enough IT departments are installing BCM clients on fifty machines,
then it makes sense that BCM Setup should allow them to configure
their setup, and not have install and uninstall Sql on all fifty
clients. You should recommend that change in the next version of BCM
directly to Microsoft.
