How to include MSDE with MSI

I am using VS .NET 2003 Bootstrapper Plug-In to create an installer that
redistribute the .NET Framework 1.1 and MDAC 2.8 with my application.

How can I include MSDE and provide the switches in order to install MSDE on
clients machine as well?

Thanks

Job,

You ask one of the biggest problems in my opinion who will be resolved in
the 2005 (SQL express) version.

It starts with that a needed strong formed SA password is needed to do it
well.

No solution however to show you that it will be hard and the solution is in
the next version.

By chance, we were able to get it working using Install shield and
merge files. However, the general consensus (even from Installshield
experts) is to have the user download and install themselves.
