Installing SQL for EncorePro
#1
Question 
Installing SQL for EncorePro
The installation of EncorePro 2.23 halts, presumably because SQL Server 2008 is not installed. There are many versions of 2008. I'm looking for one that is known to be sufficient for EncorePro, minimal in footprint and free. Suggestions?

Secondly, in watching some YouTube videos I see a multitude of SQL option settings. How does one determine the selections?

Unfortunatly  I can't search for SQL here because that is too short.

RE: Installing SQL for EncorePro
I have encore pro running on my windows 10 laptop I installed Microsoft SQL Server Express 2017 (the free one)

I also needed to install the Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio also free to change settings so encore pro would install. the settings to change are documented in the encore pro installation guide


See my steps in this thread http://www.apneaboard.com/forums/Thread-...ients-only

First you need to install The following software first
Microsoft SQL Server Express (I went for version 2017)
Microsoft SQL Server Management Suite

Then read the Installation manual and configure the following on the MSSQL Server
Filestream Support
Filestream Full Access
Mixed Mode Authentication

Then once you have done that then you need to run the EP2.3 Installer, Select a custom install (as That's your only choice) in the Server location select your instance on MSSQL just installed

But the install does work.

RE: Installing SQL for EncorePro
I must have missed something.

Installed both SQL Server Express 2017 (Basic) and SQL Server Management 18.4 and then restarted as instructed.

But I never saw the Installation manual to guide me in configuring the MSSQL Server. So I am stuck. Should I uninstall both and start over looking for an Installation manual?

The encore pro installation manyal covered the settings required as described and a bit of following and Google showed me what to do

RE: Installing SQL for EncorePro
It isn't going well with 2.24.

Select Type
advanced is forced

Select Features
all are checked

Database Server
no server is shown
attempt to proceed results in: Failed to connect to given server
there were authentication boxes that are in the 2.23 install

Backup to Select Features
uncheck Database and continue

Select Server
(local)\ENCOREPRO2 is shown
click on Find Server and error results
This server does not exist or does not contain an EncorePro version 2.24 Database

Cannot proceed.

I note the comment about unlocking the software after downloading. I assume that the unlocking is after installation.

I did uninstall or delete everything I could find that was related to SQL.

Has anyone been successful in installing 2.24?

Exactly the same result for me. Advanced install forced, then stuck when asked for a database...
