There is no need to deploy MSMQ manually prior to the DSA install.

Touninstall or reinstall Message Queuing on a Windows 2003 server, pleaseuse the Add/Remove Programs| Add/Remove Windows Components| Application Server and then correspondingly select or unselect Message Queuing.

Note: Uninstalling Message Queuing manually is not recommended if the DSA agent is still in use. DSA needs to be uninstalled first before removing MSMQ.
