STAND-ALONE SQL SERVER INSTALL

In some case due to PC/Windows configuration issues the ECS Server
installer will fail when it attempts to install the SQL database server. If
this happens the database server can be installed manually before
installing ECS Server so the ECS installer does not attempt to install
the SQL database server. In some cases the problem is caused by an
XML parser called MSXML6 which can be installed as part of another
package. In this case a utility must be used to remove it. This is
described after the uninstall of SQL server.

This section deals with the installation of SQL Server Express 2005
with service pack 3 (SP3).

UNINSTALL OF SQL SERVER

It may be necessary to carry out an uninstall of the SQL server first to
remove any existing components before installing the SQL server. The
steps to do this are:
1. Create a new temporary directory for the SQL server such as

c:\sqltmp.

2. Open a DOS window and navigate to the SQL directory on the DVD

“\3rd_Party_Software\Sql Server 2005 with sp3”.

3. Run the installer file SQLEXPR.EXE using the DOS command

“SQLEXPR.EXE /x:c:\sqltmp”.

4. Close the DOS window.
5. Navigate to the temporary subdirectory “c:\sqltmp\setup”.
6. Execute "sqlncli.msi" by double-clicking on the file.
7. Choose the "Uninstall" option.
8. Reboot the PC or server when the uninstall is complete.
9. Run the SQL Server Express 2005 SP3 installer as described

below.

Removal of MSXML6 Parser

If the SQL Server install has reported an error caused by an MSXML6
file this file should be removed before retrying the SQL Server
installation.

To remove the MSXML6 parser a utility called “msicuu2.exe” is
available from Microsoft downloads. It is usually not possible to
remove the XML parser from Add/Remove Programs.

Download and run the utility “msicuu2.exe” and follow the installer
prompts.
