have WMSDE, need MSDE

Hi.
I'm about to install an MSI-packaging software, which needs either MS SQL
(we don't have it) or MSDE. I already have WSUS running and it uses WMSDE.
Can I install install MSDE (distributed with the software) without screwing
up WSUS/WMSDE?

yes you can... just intall a separate named instance of MSDE... up to 16
instance of SQL Server 2000 and MSDE can be installed on the same machine..
each instance will have it's own binaries, memory space, registry entries
and the like..
they will only share the shared components at the highes service pack level,
like SQL-DMO... you can find shared components in \Program Files\80 filder
and subfolders..
