installing MSDE

here's the problems I'm having with MSDE:
I install MSDE SP3a with my application using InstallShield. The problem is that not everything is installed, because after I'm prompted for reboot, the database starts up, everything ok, right?
No, because when I run some scripts we have created to access the database, this dialog pops up like it needs to install more stuff for MSDE. It starts "configuring MSDE" and looks for the installer package and begins installing more stuff. What is it i
nstalling?
I'm guessing it has to do with some lines in the scripts that aren't quite supported or that require something that the standard distro doesn't install by default. Any ideas on tracking this down? Will this "installer" start when the line is executed in
my vb.net code or will it start when the vb.net code is started and it realizes it needs more stuff? Is there a way to install everything by default to avoid this?
Thanks,
Jacob

What is triggering the MSI installer? How can I prevent this from interrupting my code?
Thanks,
