Visio 2000, Enterprise version does indeed install MSDE.

That's because it has the network scanner thingy that will build network
maps for you automagically.

It's the only version that I am aware of that does this. I believe that
later Enterprise versions dropped this functionality, and lesser
versions (pro, technical, etc.) never had it.

| Chalk this all up to "things I wish I didn't know": I've
| been amused and
| skeptical at the list of applications people have claimed
| include MSDE,
| that are therefore vulnerable to SQL Slammer. In particular,
| I had a hard
| time believing that Visio used it. Heck, I've got Visio, and
| I'm pretty
| sure it doesn't open any network connections.
|
| So I prowled around the Web, and found this:
| http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/tec
hnet/prodtechnol/visio/Visio2002/maintain/vis_msde.asp
|
| MSDE is integrated with these Microsoft applications:
|
| Microsoft Visio 2000 Enterprise Edition AutoDiscovery & Layout (AD&L)
| solution
| AD&L solution from Microsoft Visio Enterprise Network Tools 2002
| Microsoft SharePoint Team Services (a Microsoft FrontPage Server
| Extensions 2002 companion product)
| Microsoft Project Central (a Microsoft Project 2000 companion product)
| Microsoft Application Center
|
| The following products ship MSDE on their product CD and can
| use MSDE as a
| database:
|
| Microsoft Access
| Microsoft Office 2000
| Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0
|
| --> Bleh. I stand corrected.
