I want to include MSDE 2000 as part of my setup project for a VB.NET app from
withing VS.NET 2003.
I am having trouble finding out how to do this in terms of changing the
settings re instancename and targetname.
Is there a simple guide for finding out how to do this for us mere mortals
without having to go down the path of using the Windows Installer SDK.
I can sucessfully install an instance of MSDE using an instance name that I
choose etc by changing the setup.ini file and running the setup.exe that
comes with MSDE 2000 but of course this is an extra step in the installation
process that I dont want my customers to have to do.
Finally, how do I ensure that the MSDE service that I install starts
straight away - I find that I either have to reboot the PC or start the
service manually after installation.
Any help on this would be much appreciated
