depending on what you want to monitor, you can even use the System Monitor,
adding your preferred counters, like

How do I know if it is working?

Hi
I think I have installed MSDE sucessfully. The new servie is running, but how can I test ifit is working? Can I place my files anywhere on the system?
All help appreciatedAs the service is running try to access it using "osql" utility.

If you are talking about data files, yes you can declare the path while creating your database...

How do I install MSDE after SQLServer 2000?

Hello,
I have SQLServer 2000 installed on a PC and I want to install
MSDE as well.
The attempted MSDE installation immediately fails with the
message:
"The instance name specified is invalid"
I looked at the autorun.inf file and I see that there is no name
specified for the new MSDE installation. Presumably it takes the
default machine name? The default machine name is already taken
by the existing SQL Server installation.
What are the correct lines to add to the MSDE autorun.inf file
for the default MSDE server name and sa account password?
After I have MSDE working is it possible to connect to it? I
would like to develop an ASP.NET web application that uses MSDE.
Ideally I would like to use something like Enterprise Manager
but to manage MSDE, at the very least I need something like
Query Analyser to work.
I note that there are some ASP.NET web apps in development that
emulate both Enterprise Manager and Query Analyser for MSDE. Has
anyone used these tools?
If necessary I can install MSDE on an other machine as I have a
LAN running here. I would prefer not to do that.
Hi,
Try executing the setup with Instance name:-
Setup.exe INSTANCENAME=<name> SAPWD=<sapassword >
Thanks

Apologies for wasting your time. I needed to add some lines to
the setup.ini file:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
[Options]
InstanceName="instance_name"
SAPWD="sa_password"
SecurityMode=SQL
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
See:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...stsql_84xl.asp
http://support.microsoft.com/default...99&Product=sql
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
But if anyone's reading. I'd appreciate help on utilities for
editing and creating MSDE databases and...
Now that MSDE is running I can't even see it on my machine. I
now have 2 Sqlservr.exe processes running, which have 2
different memory usages (16M and 8M). But why can't I see the
new database instance in my Tray. Is that normal. Surely, if I
have a process running, I should have an icon in my tray
allowing me to stop and start it?
I running XP pro SP1.

Try to run the setup in command line specifying a instance name, as

Ofcourse.It will be just like a SQLServer instance.

MSDE is devoid of any GUI but you can always use EM/QA from other editions
to manage.

Thanks.
After running server network utility I installed:
Named Pipes
TCP/IP
for my new MSDE installation aka machine_name\instance_name
After re booting it now shows to be 'running' in my system tray
as an option of my SQL Server and I have connected to it using
Enterprise Manager and QA.
Are these the 2 protocols I should install or will only one do?

how do i get started

I hope some one can help with this most basic of
questions. I am working on a project that requires a
mediium size data base and so MSDE look like a good fit.
Problem is that in all my VB 6.0 work i never did any data
base work and i cant find any good way to get started. I
am lookign for samples and things to help me conect, read
write and update tables. All the MSDN resources talk about
what you can do but none tell me how.
Thanks to any one who can help

While this book is geared for MS Access/SQL Server developers, most, if not
all of the concepts (and code) will translate to what you need to do. I
highly recommend it.

It sounded like VB 6 from his original post...

|||Hello.
Yes i am using vb 6.0. It looks to me like MSDE is simply
SQL 2000 with out the manager graphical interface. If that
is so then maybe i can just read an SQL & VB book. Am i
correct?
thanks.

you are correct...
I've found
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS...948653-0983837
quite intuitive for beginners... it's a little bit dated and offer no cover
about .Net.. but addresses quite all typical scenarios for MSDE solutions..

How do I do an Unattended install of "MSDE 1.0 sp4"?

I am trying to upgrade an MSDE 1.0 db with the Service Pack 4 patch

but I need to do either a Silent or Unattended install.

Does anyone know how to do this? Does anyone know the

command-line command to do this?

I tried using...

sql70sp4.exe -a -f1 "unattend.iss"

....but that didn't work. It popped up a window asking where I

should extract the contents of the .exe (that shouldn't be appearing

either) and then after it extracted it didn't do anything else.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

see if this helps
