how to include database with installation files of msde

I have created an application using VB6. The application uses MSDE to
access data. How do I include the required database with the installation
package.
Daniel
In the package & deployment wizard, include it in the "other files" listing
you get to complete as part of creating the setup package.

|||MSDE is SQL Server, and for each database in SQL Server, you have at least two files, a primary database file
(typically .mdf) and at least one transaction log file (typically .ldf). You can detach the files, ship them
with your app and after msde is installed attach them again. Read about sp_detach_db and sp_attach_db i Books
Online.

|||Sorry ... my error ... I read MSDE and thought Access MDB. I didn't see the
cross-post to the sqlserver groups.
