Server Install Overview
The Server install is comprised of the following:
SQL Server Express- Download Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Express with Advanced Services from the SQL Server Express Installation link on the Setup tab of the Abila MIP Install on the Abila MIP
AutoRun.exe or use an already installed version of Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with
Advanced Services, SQL Server 2005 (Full Version), or SQL Server 2008 (Full Version).
Abila MIP Server - The Abila MIP Server installation creates the MIP Share directory. We recommend accepting the default path when installing the server component.
The necessary files related to the Abila MIP Server Install are copied to the SQL server. To download the
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Express Edition with Advanced Services from the Microsoft website, click the SQL Server Express Installation link that displays on the Setup tab of the Abila MIP Install on the Abila
MIP AutoRun.exe.
Note:
Our System Requirements are changing; Windows XP and SQL Server 2003 editions will no
longer be supported with the 2014 spring release. Please verify that you are using an acceptable
Operating System and SQL Server.
