Hi,
1.
I just received a piece of retail administrative software for review that
uses MSDE 2000 database engine. Installation om part of of the SQL Server
2000 Desktop Engine on Vista Ultimate took 1 hour and 8 minutes.
What went wrong???

2.
The retail box of the software mentions Vista under ,,System requirements'',
but XP is ,,Recommended''.

Is there a risk in using the MS DE 2000 data engine under Windows Vista? It
is still ,,supported'' by Microsoft for Windows XP, where the Microsoft web
site says it is unsupported for Vista!

3. The MSDE 2000 database is ready for syncronisation on install of the
administrative software. I'd say that is putting it open to the world. Is
there any way to prevent is from doing that?

Kind regards,
Tony Thijs
