I am trying to create a setup application using C# that should install MSDE
2000 on the client machine. I googled a little but couldn't find a specific
answer.
Any pointers on how this can be done?

Thanks...

re: Install MSDE 2000


This will help, but I don't know how to integrate it into a client setup
program.

Is Sql Express 2005 not an option?

I'd suggest you take a look at SQL Server 2005 Express rather than
MSDE. For once thing it has more functionality, improved performance,
smaller footprint and is a smaller setup and is much easier to deploy

re: Install MSDE 2000


Thanks Rad.

This is a legacy app built using VS.NET 2003/Framework 1.1, and AFAIK we
need Framework 2.0 to install SQL Server Express.

So we have to stick with MSDE 2000. Can you plz help me with some info on
how to package MSDE 2000?

Thanks
