I need to deploy the application using the MSDE at the actual client sites. I have some questions that people may be able to help me with: 1) What is the easiest ay to install the MSDE? It doesn't need to be automated as there are only a small number of sites involved. Can I just download the installation from the Microsoft site? 2) How hard is it to set up backups and run database scripts without Enterprise Manager. Do other software companies who use the MSDE usually install some sort of 3rd part client tools to make this easier? Thanks for anty help.

But read the instructions on how to install the MSDE2000A (Release A) This install default doesn't accept network connections, you need to use a parameter at start of setup.exe and you need to give the sa password in a parameter.

It is enough to deploy one on them. The syntax for setup.exe is /settings setup.ini /i sqlrun14.msi /Wait /qb; in the setup.ini you can specify some additional parameter like the name of the instance and if sql-server should use Windows-only-authentication or mixed. See below: [Options] INSTANCENAME=RAPIDO03 SECURITYMODE=SQL TARGETDIR=c:Program FilesRapido DATADIR=c:Program FilesRapido not specifying the instancename sql-server is installed without instance but you must be sure there is no other sql-server running on the same PC. Use a setup program to write the correct parameters into the .ini before executing the setup. sql-server (msde2000) can't be installed on Win95; on Win98 it runs as executeable, on WinNT, 2k, xp, 2003 as service. From my knowing to deploy MSDE you must own a license of SQL-Server or a programming language of MS or Office developer or something similar.
