Service Pack 3 Panel
Chapter 23: Wizard Reference
MSDE 2000 Object for NT Platforms
In the Service Pack 3 panel, you can set the following new switches for the Setup.exe in the Desktop
Engine (MSDE) setup and customize the Microsoft Data Engine (MSDE) installation that uses merge
modules. By selecting options in this wizard panel, InstallShield allows you to assign specific internal
properties used in the SQL Server 2000 SP3 MSDE merge modules to a specific value. Internally,
InstallShield edits the Property table of the .msi file and sets the Internal Property to a specific value
when you select or deselect one of the following options:
Table 23-27: Service Pack 3 Panel Settings
Setting Description
Enable cross-database
ownership chaining
Selecting this check box enables a new security enhancementrelated
option for configuring cross-database ownership chaining.
This internally sets the SqlAllowXDBChaining property value to 1
and enables cross-database ownership chaining across all
databases. By default, this option is deselected.
According to Microsoft, cross-database ownership chaining occurs
when the source object depends on objects in another database. A
cross-database ownership chain works in the same way as
ownership chaining in a database, except that an unbroken
ownership chain is based on all the object owners being mapped to
the same login account. Therefore, in a cross-database ownership
chain, if the source object in the source database and the target
objects in the target databases are owned by the same login
account, SQL Server does not check permissions on the target
objects.
Enable network protocols If this check box is not selected, SP3a will turn off the network
support when new instances of MSDE 2000 are installed. If you
disable the network support when installing an instance of MSDE
2000 SP3a, you can later reconfigure the instance to enable the
support. For more information about disabling and restoring
network access, see Microsoft Knowledge Base article 814130. If
no application running on another computer will connect to your
instance of MSDE 2000, the instance has no need for network
support and it is prudent to turn off a resource that is not being
used.
Set an upgrade password When you select this option and enable the text field, you will be
able to specify the password for the logon that is used when you
upgrade Desktop Engine by using SQL Server Authentication.
Allow installation to
proceed with a blank sa
password
If you select this option, you can perform an installation with a blank
sa password. Regardless of whether an instance of Desktop Engine
is using Microsoft Windows or Mixed Mode authentication, the
installation cannot continue if a blank password is detected for the
sa logon. A warning message appears if a blank password is
detected. If you have a blank password for the sa logon, before you
continue you must change the password by using the sp_password
stored option. See the Set an sa password option below.
