Building MSDE with VS 2005 Setup Project

[kaushalgajjar]

I have been struggling to build a package in VS2005. I have an application made in VB.Net with SQL 2000 now i want to build it to use in a stand alone Computer so i have found MSDE from Microsoft Site (but i couldnt found merge module from any where)

MSDE having a setup file with several folders the setup file need following parameters

setup.exe DISABLENETWORKP ROTOCOLS=0 SAPWD="sa" INSTANCENAME="m yinstance" SECURITYMODE=SQ L

Now the problem is how do i embed MSDE to my VS2005 Project? I have tried puting in Custom Action under Install and Commit both it builds properly but when i run setup its giving an error during installation

"Another installation is already in process. Complete that installation before proceeding with this install."

I know the when the SQL Setup starts it detects other setup application running thats why this problem is coming. but i dont know how to solve this problem

I am googling it from last 1 week and never got any solution
