Hi Amit,
You can download MSDE toolkit, that is a plug-in to Microsoft Visual Studio
that automates the process of creating an integrated package with both the
application and the MSDE database, from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...403-c4ba-4d98-
bb0b-2c9d6414071f&DisplayLang=en
This toolkit will help you in customizing and designing a setup for MSDE
that can be integrated with your application.

|||Hi Amit,
You can go through the following technical article that helps in designing
classes for MSDE installation.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...us/dnmsde/html
/msdedepl.asp
According to that you can use the "AfterInstall" event to add the database
to the MSDE server.
According to my understanding, you will have to include the database files
in your setup and extract it to the desired location, and then execute the
"attachdb" function or the sp_attach_db stored procedure from the object.

|||Hi Ashish,
Thank you my installation nightmare is over.
But i have still one problem.
I am using trusted connection to connect my web site with
MSDE database.
In command line i use
osql -S myserver\Instancename -E connected successfully.
while connecting with my website it will give following
error.
"Login failed for user "servername\ASPNET"
i also use SQL connection in which i provide user id and
password but the result is same an error occurs.
"Login failed for user "sa". Reason: Not associated with
trusted SQL server Connection"
please tell me where i am wrong.
Thanks
Amit

|||Hi Amit,
The user servername\ASPNET is the default user name that the ASP.NET process
runs as within the operating system. It is configured in the machine.config
file. By default, it has no access to your databases.
You have three basic options:
1. Grant appropriate database access to the ASPNET user.
2. Use impersonation on the site - configured in your web.config file (ie
impersonate the windows user that the end user is connecting as - not great
for public sites of any type)
3. Have your application log on as a specific user and grant that user
access to the database.
