Installing Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Express Database

Important Notes before starting:

• Having SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server 2008 on the same system is possible, but not

recommended unless another program needs to have SQL 2005 installed. If a previous

installation of SQL 2005 used the instance name CMJ or DSI, you’ll need to either uninstall it

first, or name the instance something other than CMJ or DSI (i.e. DSI2008) in step 5.

• SQL Server 2008 R2 Express will also install SQL Server Agent in addition to the instance and SQL

Server Browser. SQL Server Agent is an administrative tool used in developer and commercial

editions of SQL Server 2008 and cannot be used with the Express edition. It will start in a

Disabled state and cannot be started. This is normal. SQL Server Agent is only necessary for

more advanced features that are not needed in order to use our software.

Notes for Windows XP users:

• Installation on Windows XP requires installation of Windows Installer 4.5. It is available here:

(without quotes) as the password. If the current user is not in the Administrators box, click the

Add Current User button. Click Next.

9. SQL 2008 will complete the installation and notify when it is done. If you’re installing this in a

network environment, TCP/IP is disabled by default in SQL 2008.

To enable TCP/IP on Windows XP/Vista/7, Go to Start �All Programs �Microsoft SQL Server

2008 R2 �Configuration Tools � Microsoft SQL Configuration Manager

On Windows 8, locate the SQL Server Configuration tile on the Start screen, and click on it.

12. Click on SQL Server Services. Then right-click on SQL Server (DSI) (or the name you gave it in

Step 5) and choose Restart.
