Hi all,

What I've been trying to learn is how to design an application, using VB.Net, that will allow me to distribute MSDE. Given that here's where I stand and what I wish to do:

1. Operating platform is Windows XP Pro;
2. Using Visual Studio .NET Professional;
3. Design an application that will deploy MSDE via CD-ROM to computers that do not have it;
4. Have the latest .NET platform also written to the CD-ROM

Like I said, I have tried this many, many times but couldn't pull it off. I've also posted a message like this everywhere but haven't received the assistance I really need because 99% of those replying have been telling me to visit a Web site. What I am trying to say is that I really need some written basic instructions. That's not to say links to other places would not be appriciated, but I desire being able to send notes back and forth.

Many Thanks,

Mike
