Upon startup of Mechanical Desktop 2005, it is telling me to please wait while Windows configures the Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine. Why is MDT doing this? Is there a feature within this software that is looking for a SQL server? We recently installed Sigmanest, which requires a local install of MSDE...so I'm assuming it has something to do with it.
