Thanks HTH,

Then how would I create my tables, stored procs and load
client specific data into tables. Actually I am new to
all this. I read about msde bootstrap installer, are
there issues with it as well?

Hi,

Unfortunately, all the auto-install options currently have "issues". I'd
strongly suggest you:

1. Configure the setup.ini file to have your default settings.
2. Get the client to run the setup.exe program to install the MSDE.

HTH,

Microsoft provides a deployment toolkit, in release candidate at the current
time, you can dowload from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=6e9a7403-c4ba-4d98-bb0b-2c9d6414071f&displaylang=en
I did not installed it, but I think some database deployment feature are
present... and some drawbacks of this toolkit have been posted here... don't
know the current state and/or the final release...

personally I do deploy apps with a companion tool which will read and
execute DDL scripts as long as INSERT INTO scipts, BCP and so on.. other
ways are backup/restore and sp_attach_db
I already discused these 3 methods of mine in http://tinyurl.com/6ux7p and
