MSDE Problem

I've been having hassles with MSDE 2000a. When attempting to install our
Product, when our DLL's are supposed to be registered, Windows Installer
dialogs ("Preparing to install..")are popped up for every DLL. When we check
the Application log, we see the following error message :
Detection of product '{E09B48B5-E141-427A-AB0C-D3605127224A}', feature
'SqlRun' failed during request for component
'{436D7A23-36BE-11D2-ACBB-0080C7FCBB84}'
I have a feeling that MSDE doesn't correctly reference the SqlRun feature -
because if I change the GUID under:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Installer\Feat ures\*GUID*
that contains the SqlRun key, to E09B48B5E141427AAB0CD3605127224A - then it
seems to work fine.
What the %$#^%$# is going on here?!?
Is this an MSDE problem? Am I simply installing MSDE incorrectly?

MSDE or SQL 2005 Express?

Which one would you choose for a small application that needs to go in
production NOW? SQL 2005 Express is supposed to be the successor of MSDE
2000, but is it stable enough for production?
NOW - I would look at MSDE.
If you can wait until Nov 7th, you might consider SqlExpress.
SqlExpress seems quite stable, but I find it hard to justify going into
production with it when we are so close to the release date. Also, depending
on whether or not you are also running any v2.0 .NET apps, you could have
issues with similar but still different versions of the CLR. Lastly, do you
qualify for the Go Live License and does that license apply to SqlExpress or
only Visual Studo?

|||Thanks Andrew. Three weeks sounds manageable... Is this a published date?
I've registered for the Go Live license, including SQLExpress.
