Johan Berghmans writes "Okay, what I would like to know is what the easiest way is to
install and configure the desktop edition of SQL Server 2000.
And addition to that question is that we want to use either
a script based installation type (we have been using Wise Installation System for instance) or a windows installer based
installation type. According to the MSDN site you can get some
MSI install files for the desktop edition - so this should be
easy to include - but after the installation of the engine you
may want to configure it. Also, because we'd like to use this
engine for offline version of applications, we're looking for
a way to get databases (with and without data) installed under
sql server - perhaps by recovering a database we've set up
before and put on the installation CD.

Then there's the question of licenses. How does this work.
It's not exactly clear to me from what I've read on the
Microsoft site. What license do you need, or what would be
the best license - not knowing the exact number of users
(could go into a couple of thousands)."
