MSDE Installation

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

About a year or so ago, I had some dialog with this newsgroup about MSDE.

At that time, it seems that Microsoft or someone was making a free product
to make installations of MSDE a lot simpler. Has this been developed? I
mean no one wants to release a commerical product designed for SQL Server
among other DBs and MSDE for stand alone users and yet expect the user to be
smart enough to do much of anything in the setup. Has such a thing been
created?

I did quite a bit of research on it then, but am just now looking at the
issue afresh.

Thanks for any help,

Shane
