Install MSDE 2000

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...

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

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

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

It's arriving from ebuyer tomorrow for 32 quid. I already have an instance of MSDE running on the laptop and ideally i would like SQL server to be installed and use the current instance and not install any other additional services.

Should i shut down the service or leave it...

I'm looking for a simple way of telling (inside a stored procedure) if I'm currently using MSDE or a full SQL server. Ideally, there is some pre-defined environment variable that won't cause me too much overhead. The reason I'm doing this is because my system "rolls over" databases when it reaches the 2Gb limit with MSDE, but obviously I want to avoid this overhead if the user installs onto a full SQL server instance. Thanks

I have tried to install MSDE 2000, first the normal version, then the one for developers using Visual Studio .NET. Each time the installation appears to complete, but there is no shortcut to start the program and it's not in the Start/Programs menu. However, if I look for it in "Add and Remove Programs" it's there. The directory C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Binn includes some exe files and I have tried to start them,...

Hi all, Here is my situation. I have an application that uses SQL 2000. The client has a program that uses MSDE. The client MUST have the MSDE version of the Database. What I have done is to create a SQL 2000 Database that is exactly like the MSDE version. What I wish to do, is at regularly scheduled intervals, update the SQL 2000 Data with the newest MSDE Data. On my clients server, they have both MSDE and SQL 2000 installed the...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
