What is MSDE?

I read in the MTR's that MSDE replaces Access with EO8.9. What is it? What MicroSoft suite is it part of?

MSDE is the Microsoft Desktop Engine. It is a streamlined version of SQL Server..think of it like SQL Express. It doesn't include the enterprise manager that comes with SQL Server, and to do a mixed authentication you need to do a reg hack.

It comes with Office 2000/XP (I believe).
 
Mr. an0nemus, could you please tell us what that reg hack for MSDE is?

I have tried to install E08.9 Demo Jr. a few days ago and could not get it working. I think my problem was with MSDE .

Thanks, Gerd
 
I honestly don't remember anymore. HOwever I was able to google the error message that came back, and that gave me the reg hack.
