Issues/Problems with SQL MSDE running on Windows XP

Can anyone tell me if there are known problems/issues with running SQL MSDE
on Windows XP? We have a wise install program that installs an Excel
application with msde and it runs fine on Windows 2000 but not on XP. The
install program completes fine but when we go to view the database we find
that the SQL Server instance is there with the msdb, model, and other default
system databases but none of the databases that the install script creates.
When the same installation is ran on 2000 everything works beautifully.
Any help greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Ang
This is likely an issue with your installation program and not with MSDE.
MSDE works just fine with XP. Contact your application vendor.
