msdbdata.mdf missing after installing an instance of MSDE

Hi all,
msdbdata.mdf is missing after I install an instance of MSDE.
What could be causing this?
Thanks

are you sure you correctly installed MSDE? no error has been reported? the
verbose log file shows no problems?
msdb database is a system database and is part of a proper installation...

|||Hi Andrea,
Yes, there was no error reported while installing.
I know that msdb is a system DB, that's what is bugging me.
I will check the log file again and see if there is anything funny reported
even though an error isn't logged.
Thanks,
Jason
