MSDE Environment

Dear all,
i'm new in MSDE, yet, after i'd installed for MSDE ReleaseA which i
get from SQL web site, i realise that I can't run the MSDE without
fully SQL server install, may i know that whether i can run MSDE
without fully SQL SERVER install? if so, how to use it...
pls give me some guide on that, thanks in advance!! :wink:
MSDE IS Sql Server, and does not need full SQL Server installed (otherwise,
why MSDE?). MSDE Download does not come with good document on how to install
it properly for user who does not have experience on SQL Server. I recommend
search MS Knowledge base with key word "MSDE" to get get more detailed
installation guide.

When you run the MSDE Setup, it installs the SQL Server MSDE Edition Engine.
No tools are supplied with MSDE.
Full editions of SQL Server is not required to run MSDE. MSDE is an stripped
down Edition of SQL Server.
What are you trying to achive?
