Rajesh,

As documented in the 5.1.5 User's Guide and READMEs
Data Protection for SQL supports:

   -  Windows NT Server 4.0 SP4 or
      Windows 2000 SP1 (Server, Advanced Server or DataCenter Server)

   -  Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 SP3
      Microsoft SQL Server 2000 SP1

You might be able to get it to work but
MSDE is not officially supported.

Here is a Microsoft web site that might be of interest:

Thanks,

Del
