Manuel installation of MSDE

If the LicenseWatch setup program doesn’t succeed in installing MSDE, then you have to do a manual installation of MSDE. Run the following command:

[LicenseWatch Setup CD path]\Bin\MSDE\setup.exe DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=0 TARGETDIR="C:\Program Files\LicenseWatchPlatinum\DATABASE\" DATADIR="C:\Program Files\LicenseWatchPlatinum\DATABASE\DATA\" SECURITYMODE=SQL INSTANCENAME=LicenseWatchMSDE SAPWD=xxx

If you prefer blank sa password, replace the argument SAPWD=xxx with BLANKSAPWD=1.
