MSDE install for non-admin user

We are packaging our application installer with MSDE. Is there any
specific version of MSDE that we have to use so we don't require admin
users to perform the installation?
Thanks.

if you do not directly consume merge modules, the package is the same both
for MSDE Rel A and for the updated to sp 3a or 4 desktopengine package..

And, if we do that using non-admin account, it won't work. I believe it
is because it needs to create the new service and everything for this
MSDE instance. Is there any other installation that we should use so we
don't required admin permission during installation?

not that I'm aware of... the install process need to set new services,
install and register lot of COM component... and eventually MDAC it self..
