I am using Installshield's Devstudio 9.0 to perform install of client-server program that uses SQL Server MSDE engine as back-end.

In Installshield I have specified new instance name to be created with the name I specified.

Once I install the program using the setup I created I get a new instance of SQLServer created...
Two Services get created
1. SQLServerAgent - Manual
2. SQLServer - Automatic

What is the SQLServerAgent used for? If it is needed for client access can it be set to be automatically started in the installscript?

How do I attach my Database to this SQLServer instance I just created?
