Disable MSDE Power User installer

Hi,
Is there a way for me to disable the MSDE installer for a Power User?
Some entry in the Registry, perhaps?
Thanks for any help,
Charles

Hi,
Is there no one that can help me? When I login in as a Power User
MSDE appears to load and run, as I can see the icon in the taskbar.
When I run a certain program (and I use this program many times a day)
the MSDE installer kicks in. If I let it continue it just locks up
and I have to End Task. If I cancel the installer I have to click on
the cancel button 3 times, because the installer dialog pops up 3
times. This has to be done many times a day.
The only option I know of is to uninstall MSDE and find another SQL
program.
Help,
Charles

Hi All,
I fixed my problem. I had to change permissions for the MSSQLSERVER
tree in the registry. Right or wrong, it worked for me. No more
stupid MSI installer.
