Window Book, Inc. Revision 2010-09-30. Page 1 of 28

Overview The Window Book .NET software products require .Net Framework 3.5 SP1 and a connection to

Microsoft SQL Server 2008. The purpose of this guide is to instruct users on how to install SQL Server

2008 Express.

Step 1 - Install SQL Server 2008 Express The Window Book SQL Server Express installations are targeted for a server; this means that whoever is

running the install must be logged into the server with administrative rights to perform the install.

Via a web browser, visit Microsoft web site http://www.mcrosoft.com/express/sql/download/.

From the right-hand side of the SQL Server web page (Figure 1), press either the purple “32-bit” or “64-

bit” button, based upon your version of Windows operating system.
