Michael writes "I want to call MSDE 2000 setup.exe from my C++ code.
How I can control from my code that MSDE installation already finished ?

I tried to use Windows API: CreateProcess(),WaitForSingleObject()
but it does not work because setup.exe submits child processes:
msiexec.exe, setupre.exe,... and setup.exe is finished immidiately while these child proceses still running !

May be I should monitor some registry key ?

Thanks,
Michael."

I don't know about MSDE2000, but with MSDE1.0 there is a log file in your windows folder you need to check. Somewhere there is a MS KB article about how to test for the completion of the installation.
