MSDE Installation

Hello,

I must make a setup that will Install MSDE, restore a blank database and
install my application.
I have already made it with no problem, but now I run into a very big
problem on some computers with Win 98 and NT4.
These computers don't have file sharing (on 98) or no server service working
(Win NT).
The problem is that my custommer doesn't want to check if the server
service, or if the file sharing is enabled.
So, he says that the setup doesn't work.
Can someone tell me how I can check if the server servide (NT4) is working
or if the file sharing is enabled (98) in windows Installer as I launch the
MSI for MSDE in a msi file I made?
Is it possible to install MSDE without the service Server (or file
sharing)?
Is it possible to install the server servide without the user doing anything
(For example on NT, I install a false network adaptater and the server
service)?

Thank you
Marc Allard

Hi Marc,

I do not have much Idea about the Server Service, but I can answer your
Question about
"Is it possible to install MSDE without the service Server (or file
sharing)?"
Yes, MSDE is supported on Windows 98 and Windows NT Workstations.

For more details about the Software and hardware requirements of various
editions of SQL Server including MSDE, please go through the folliwing MSDN
articles
