Attempting to install on test machine (laptop, Dell C600, WinXP SP2). Installation hangs when attempting to install MSDE (with 20 seconds remaining).
I think that the issue is that MSDE is already installed, but...
Perhaps I'm blind or just not sufficiently observant, but there SHOULD be a way to avoid the MSDE installation if we intend to have IWP use an existing SQL data source. For example, after prompting if there is an existing SQL source, the installation routines should be able to just create the required data bases on that source rather than blindly installing a new source.
At issue here is that we will be deploying several copies at remote offices (one per) on machines that are already set up as network/security monitors. These machines already have MSDE and replication triggers back to master database(s).
