Topic: Can not install MSDE
I´ve tried to install MSDE a hundred times but the installation terminates
while gathering information pre the installation. I´ve tried different
versions and service packs but nothing. When im trying to install my Show
Center it runs great until it reach the part of installing with the MSDE,
then treminates.... I´ve installed SQL 2005 but it doese not solve the
problem.
Have anyone got any idéas?

to have a better understandniss of the reasons why it fails, you should add
a parameter to the call to the installer package,
setup.exe ...... /L*v "c:\somefile.txt"
that will allow the installation process to verbose log all activities to
the provided text file, resulting in about 2mb text file for a succesfull
installation you can inspect for
RETURN VALUE 3
entries, indicating point of failure, but I do not think Pinnacle provided
that customization feature for their installer package.. you can try
contacting Pinnacle about the required parameters you have to manually
provide to the standard Microsoft MSDE installer in order to run it your
self with the additional one..

Vista? If so, Google on MSDE Vista.
