I need to install MSDE 2000 at the same time as installing my
application. I am using the Client Installer to install my application
- it is laying down the sql2000msi and setup.exe very nicely, however
I do not know how to launch the setup.exe from within the Client
Installer. Do I have to build it into my app?

Thanks
John
 
Hi John,

MSDE is nice, one of the problems for me is the install.
(You have to use a strongpassword or to change autorization in the ini
script while you do not know if the customer wants that).

In the situation it is now, I would never want to build that automaticly in
the install).

Just my 2 eurocents
