Installing MSDE my way

Installing msde(filename msde2000relA).

to install msde after you download from microsoft and extract it.
you must use command prompt(dos prompt) or just edit the setup.ini

in command prompt target the setup.exe and give some parameter to make intall works.
im succed in installing msde by using this parameter

c:\folderwhereyouextractmsde\msderela\setup.exe SAPWD="yourpassword" InstanceName="yourInstanceName" DisablenetworkProtocols=0

you need to restart the computer to make sqlserver run

sqlserver will automaticly run. if you install it correctly youll see sqlserver icon in systray and have a green mark if its red then its not running.

if you wanna ask what is "instance name or sapwd" just read msde2000rela readme.

youve to install msde manager from valesoft to make it easier when creating the database in msde.

you can also create database using WebMatrix - ill post right away.
