Regrettably, this is an automated installation system.  It's not like I
was able to install MSDE first myself, then install the application.  It
was all done at once.

Is there any way to disable it after installation?  (I haven't had a
chance to RTFineM, but will go do that as well.)  Right now, I'm
protecting ports with IPSec rules.

Thanks,
Matt
