Yes, you are correct. But why is a database server required for an application? I don't need SQL8 or SQL2000 to run other applications that supply data to tables created in SQL. It just seems ISS is making scanning platforms more vulnerable by requiring a database server to be installed.

If you already have SQL 2000 just make sure it has service pack 3 and you're set. If you don't have access to SQL, then you can download MSDE free from Microsoft. -----Original Message----- From: Evans, Mark (Contractor) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 27, 2003 8:21 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: [ISSForum] Why is MSDE needed for Beta7 Does anyone know why MSDE is required for the application to run? I keep getting the error "MSDE/SQL 8 or greater required for Internet Scanner installation." I think I know what MSDE is, but why is it needed to run the scanner? Access was not needed to run the scanner, only to edit the tables. I can't imagine putting MSDE or SQL on all my scanner laptops (we do traveling audits) with the myrid vulnerabilities associated with them. A patch nightmare will ensue because ALL SQL patches are needed for MSDE. _______________________________________________ ISSForum mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] TO UNSUBSCRIBE OR CHANGE YOUR SUBSCRIPTION, go to https://atla-mm1.iss.net/mailman/listinfo _______________________________________________ ISSForum mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] TO UNSUBSCRIBE OR CHANGE YOUR SUBSCRIPTION, go to https://atla-mm1.iss.net/mailman/listinfo
