MSDE in VS.NET Setup Project

[edelwater]

According to Microsoft it is not advised to spread MSDE in merge modules any more.

I have a small webserver, a .net application and want to distribute MSDE and 2 databases along with it. I managed to create a setup which checks for .Net 1.1, MDAC, IE6 an such but do not know how to include MSDE.

Can i just copy the MSDE directory that comes with Visual Studio ? Are the latest service packs in there ? How can i call this setup and then another setup (of the application) automatically ? sigh...

Why don't Microsoft want the merge modules used any more?
