Hi Folks,

I have tried to install MSDE but the installer says: A strong SA password is required for security reasons:
"Please use SAPWD switch to supply the same. Refer to the readme for more details. Set will now exit"

I take it that SAPWD switch is used thought cmd prompt but how??

Please help
