How to Install Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine (MSDE) for
School Management System
We strongly recommend that using Microsoft SQL Server 2000
or above as database software for the School Management System.
However, if you need to install a free database software for financial
concern - MSDE is the best choose. It is free and more importantly, it
can be easily upgraded to SQL Server later without damaging your
database. The following steps describe how to install MSDE for using
the School Management System.
1. Pro-installation requirement. Download
 Microsoft Data Access
Components (MDAC) 2.6 , and then follow the instruction to
install MDAC 2.6 on your computer.
2. Download
Microsoft SQL Server Desktop
Engine
(MDSE 2000) Release A
and save it on your computer.
3. Double click the MSDE2000A.exe and extract these
installation files into anywhere on your computer.
4. Go the folder you have extracted these
installation files to at step 3, open setup.ini file using notepad,
copy these 3 lines code listed below into the setup.ini file just right
under [Options]
SAPWD=”your_password”
SECURITYMODE=SQL
DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=0
5. Change “your_password” to
whatever you want, save and close the setup.ini file. Double click
setup.exe, and then follow the instruction to install the MSDE on your
computer.
6. Remember that your database user name is
“sa” and password is the value of SAPWD you changed
at step 5. The database user information is very important and you need
it for the School Management System server configuration later.
7. Reboot your computer and then you can start installing the School Management System server.
