Install the Desktop Engine

In most development projects, you may want to integrate with some data store at some time. However, if you are an MSDN Professional subscriber, you do not have access to a copy of SQL Server Developer, SQL Server Standard, or SQL Server Enterprise through this level of subscription. If you want to develop code that has access to a database, you can use the Desktop Engine.

Note Visual Studio .NET 2003 does not include Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine (MSDE). In this article, you will learn how to install only the Desktop Engine.

  1. To download MSDE, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

    MSDE 2000 for Developers Using Visual Studio .NET
    http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=13962

  2. Click Download. The File Download dialog box appears.
  3. Click Open to download and then run the sql2kdesksp3.exe file. After the download, the Installation Folder window appears.
  4. Accept the default path, and then click Finish.

    Note If the specified output folder does not exist, click Yes in the PackageForTheWeb dialog box to create the folder.
  5. After the package is read and unpacked, click OK in the PackageForTheWeb dialog box.
  6. Open a command prompt, and then navigate to the C:\sql2ksp3\MSDE folder.
  7. Run the following command at the command prompt to install MSDE:

    Setup.exe /qb+ INSTANCENAME=VSDOTNET DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=1 SAPWD=YOUR SA PASSWORD

    Replace YOUR SA PASSWORD with the system administrator password that you want to use.
  8. After the installation is complete, you receive a dialog box that prompts you to restart your computer.
