Ram writes "Hi,

I have created a Web Based Database Application using Microssoft SQL Server, ASP, HTML.

Now I want to know how to Create a Demo CD version of the same application with full functionality. What are the steps involved in the same. I believe MSDE can be used as Database Server and can also be freely distributable. I will need advice on usage of MSDE too.

Thanks in Advance.

There is an app called MSDEX86.exe which is a redistributable executable of MSDE. If you have Visual Studio or Office Developer its on the disk. Otherwise, its a free download from Microsoft.com. Also, to silently expand (install it) along with your application, you will need the .ISS file that has the canned responses the MSDE installer needs for silent installation, and the .ISS file functions as a log file as well if any errors occur. And you will need to have a line in your setup app to call the MSDEX86.exe, or you will need to execute a batch file to call it. Search Microsoft.com for "MSDEX86.exe" and you will find most info you need. If you have any unanswered question, post here or email me.
