sql server msde: I'm running Server 2003 Standard Edition... I'm having
problems installing MSDE (light).

Is it mandatory to run Server 2003 Enterprise Edition in
order to install MSDE?

Thanks!

It is not necessary to have a previous installation of any edition of SQL
Server for installing MSDE. Please go through the following Microsoft
Articles for more information and how to custom install MSDE.
