About The Sof tware
1] Microsoft makes distributes a free version of Microsoft SQL Server 2008. It is so functional and reliable that a number of companies never need to upgrade
to a pay version. The advanced package includes a number of additional support tools - such as Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express.
Microsoft SQL Management Studio Express is a GUI tool which enables you to create databases, records, queries, etc. I encourage you to download and
install the advanced version of the software.
Hardware & Software Requirements
1] I have installed SQL Server Express on XP, VISTA, 2003 Server, and 2008 Server. I recommend that you install all service packs for your operating system
before you begin. It is worth your time to examine the formal requirements documentation.
1] If you are going to install Visual Studio 2008, I recommend that you do it first.
Tutorial: VisualStudio-2008-Install
2] I recommend that you install all service packs for your operating system before you begin. My students often skip the requirements and waste installation
time because Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Advanced will simply not install unless you have the following software on your computer:
.NET 3.5 with Service Pack 1 Tutorial : .NET-3.5-Install
Windows Installer 4.5 Tutorial : Windows-Installer-4.5-Install
Windows Power Shell Tutorial : Windows-Power-Shell-2.0-Install
Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1 (if you have Visual Studio 2008) Tutorial : Visual-Studio-2008-SP1-Install

SQL-Server-2008-Adv.zip

7] Note that my system passed all of the required support rules. The ability to access this server, from a remote system, can be blocked by any software
firewall. I normally keep my firewall off when behind a router and enable it if I am using the computer in a public venue. You might also have warnings from
anti-virus systems that help to protect your ports. I am going to click on the Windows Firewall warning below.
