You have to install MSDE before you install WebBoard. In typical O'Reilly fashion, they don't have "Install MSDE" as the first item in the install menu. I don't remember off-hand where it is in the menu order, but just choose the Install MSDE option before you install anything else and you should be OK. MSDE and SQL Server are two different animals. You can use either with Webboard, but I don't believe you can "create" an MSDE database with SQL7. Best to let the Webboard installation create the MSDE database for you, then upsize to SQL Server afterwards.
