SQL 2005 Standard Installation Instructions
From FloristWiki
Before You Install
Prior to installing the upgrade to Microsoft SQL 2005, you must install any critical updates from Microsoft. You can click the yellow shield icon in the Windows system tray (next to the clock) to launch the updates. The icon should have a tool tip that reads “Updates are ready for your computer. Click here to download these updates.” Follow the on-screen prompts to install any available critical updates. Once you have all critical updates installed, proceed to installing SQL 2005 Standard.
Installing SQL 2005 Standard
This installation is for FTD Mercury 8.0 or later, and must be performed on the FTD Mercury Server. During installation, the FTD Mercury Server and clients will be unavailable for use. Perform this installation during a non-busy time of your day. It will take approximately 1 to 2 hours, and the server will reboot multiple times. Do not turn off your computer during installation!
To install SQL 2005 Standard:
- Insert the SQL 2005 Standard Disc A into the CD drive of your FTD Mercury Server. FTD Mercury shuts down automatically.
- You will be prompted to begin the installation. Click OK.
- The installation begins. The installation will take approximately 1 to 2 hours to complete, and will require some interaction. Once you begin the installation, you must wait until it completes to use FTD Mercury (on the server or any clients).
- The server will reboot.
- When you are prompted to insert Disc B, the CD drive will open. Replace Disc A with Disc B, and close the CD drive. Once you close the drive, the installation will continue automatically.
- The server will reboot, continue the installation, and then reboot again.
- When the resumption screen opens, click Next.
- When the completion screen opens, click Finish.
- FTD Mercury automatically starts up.
- Once the FTD Mercury server starts, you can restart the clients. The installation is complete.
