Hi,

Strong SA Password to install MSDE?

Run the MSDE setup program from command prompt with a password. See the
usage below:-

setup.exe SAPWD=password_for_s
a

How can I tell if MSDE is on my machine already?

See the Control panel Services list. For MSDE there will be a service name
MSSQL Server and SQLServerAGENT.

Thanks

You mean Control Panel / Admin Tools / Component Services / Console
Root Services (local)?

On my notebook I see

MSSQL$MICROSOFTBCM

and

MSSQLServerADHelper

not the ones you mention.

Anyhow, do you know what MSSQL$MICROSOFTBCM is about? Is it the MS
Office extension Business Contact Manager, and since I don't really
use the BCM, is this consuming a lot of resources and can I turn it
off / set it to manual start?

Thanks.
