[dba-SQLServer]MSDE Installation

Does anyone know how MSDE gets installed?  What it is a part of?

I want to use MSDE as the database engine for .net development for some
lightweight demo apps and games.  I haven't a clue where it comes from
(other than the Access disks).  Is it just there for .net?  If not is it
available for a download (for free?)?  If so, how do I get it installed on a
remote computer?

Hi John,

In my case, even with those restrictions it will be fine
as long as I can easily get everything setup on SQL Server
when the time comes. For development I'll just have test
data, and while I'll probably have a good amount to check
performance issues I can't see it going over 4gig. For
dev, I'll be the only user, so that isn't an issue either.

But those are important considerations to keep in mind.
Thanks.

Ron
