MSDE Installation Confusion

I recently obtained Visual C++ .NET 2003, and am under the impression that I
have to install MSDE to provide SQL support for applications I write.
Do I need to install SQLServer as well? (None of the documentation I have
read so far says so, but some comments I have read make me want
confirmation).
Regards
Dave
Hi Dave,
If you have SQL Server, you have no need to install the MSDE. The MSDE is
basically a cut-down SQL Server mostly used for deployment with apps where
the client doesn't have SQL Server. For development, you should use the
Developer Edition of SQL Server.

I'm not aware of such requirements in order to install MSDE 1.0 (msdex86.exe
installer package)..
the requirement I'm aware of is IE 4.0, and the release notes of the
msdex68.exe package, part of "MSDE for Visual Studio 6.0" distribution,
including SQL Server 7.0 Dev Edition does not list Office 2000 or OSE at
all...
and, AFAIK, the ISS script provided with it does not allow remote
installations...
you can somehow customize that script (say in order to change the TCP/IP
port used by the instance), but just little...
