MSDE fooprint

I want to use msde as an embedded database with my
application dev on VB.net. It is a small application who
demo version i want to post on net.
What is minimum footprint of msde i can use? Or what are
the options to reduce the footprint of msde? Also mention
how different options affect its size.
Thanks

|||I think you can make it thinner, although I have never actually tried. The
package contains 16 different versions of certain files (for each different
instance), and I am quite sure you can do without 15 of them.
