Does anyone have an (almost) foolproof instruction sheet for instaling MSDE? It should be installed using SQL Server security. Microsoft's instructions are not always successful and when it does work, Integrated Security seems to be the default. Changing this requires going through hoops and involves registry changes.
 
You can change the type of security using SQL-DMO, with some frontend app using this code:


oSQLApp = CreateObject('SQLDMO.Application')
oServer = osqlapp.SQLServers(1)
oserver.IntegratedSecurity.SecurityMode = 1


&& 1 -> Just Windows , 2-> Win & SQL, 0-> Only SQL

This works without working with the registry.
