ezeason Posted November 9, 2004 Posted November 9, 2004 :confused: I'm working on a project where we want to deploy a VB.net app with MSDE on a DVD. The database is about 3 gigs per dvd and could be up to 10 dvds. Does anyone know if MSDE and be deployed to run from a DVD? The app will also run from the dvd. Quote
stustarz Posted November 10, 2004 Posted November 10, 2004 The database is about 3 gigs per dvd and could be up to 10 dvds MSDE has a maximum database size of 4 gigs so i think your going to be out of luck!

*Gurus* Derek Stone Posted November 10, 2004 *Gurus* Posted November 10, 2004 You have to install MSDE prior to using it. It cannot be run directly from any source without said installation. Your question did not make your concern about this issue clear. Otherwise, had you searched this site, or even bother to read the first thread in this forum, you would have found your answer.

ezeason Posted November 10, 2004 Author Posted November 10, 2004 MSDE has a maximum database size of 4 gigs so i think your going to be out of luck! It is only 4 gigs per instance, 3 gigs in the biggest database. So I could run multipule instances. Quote
ezeason Posted November 10, 2004 Author Posted November 10, 2004 No, most clients will only buy 1 or may be 2 dvd. That data is different research results for different counties in Texas. Each dvd will have 1 or 2 counties on it, depending on the size of the data for that county. The app will run on the dvd and will not need to be installed. (it is a simple vb exe file) What I'm trying to figure out is if MSDE will run from a DVD, and if it can, how and what do I need to install for it to work? (I know some item will need to be installed for this app to work) Quote
