Creation of Instance.

I have been doing research on how to create a new instance with MSDE. Does anyone know how to create one in an automated fashion using one of the standard tools that are installed with MSDE 2000A? I suspect that is accomplished with cnfgsvr.exe but have
not found any examples on the Internet. Thanks.

in order to install a brand new MSDE instalnce you only have to run it's
setup.exe bootstrapp installer ..
MSDE does not provide support for response files nor for for unattended
installations...
