I do not think you can separate oSql.exe from the full MSDE package from a
legal point of view..
but perhaps you've better ask Microsoft representatives...

again, I'm not sure you can "cannibalize" osql.exe that way... of course,
having a full SQL Server licence, you can install the Client Tools, that
include quiet all tools... but this way I'm little skeptic... but I'm not a
lawyer

MSDE package doesn't work on win 98

I created a install shield package on windows 98 using the
MSDE merge modules with vb .net. It works fine on 2000 and
xp but on windows 98 it give an ambiguous error: "Error
1723. Theres a problem with this windows installer
package. A DLL required for this installation to complete
could not be run."
This happenes as soon as I click on the msi file. Or if I
click the setup file then after a couple checks and when
setup tryes running the msi file.
Anyone have any ideas what it could be? Which dlls? Which
merge modules could be missing?
Any help would greatly appreciated. I've lost some hair
over this one.
You probably don't have any version of MDAC installed on the Win98 system.
Make MDAC a dependency of your install and install it first if needed before
going forward.

or if the Windows Family Logon is enabled.
