TV Server installation with SQL Server Express option

Beechus · 2008-02-03, 22:28

Hey guys,

I dont understand why TV server doesnt have SQL Server 2005 Express bundled with it. It's free to use, easy to automate an installation and EVERYONE who installs TV Server needs it.

Sure there needs to be a wizard after installation, but this is easy.... I've already written one for some of my projects! See screenshots:

(1) User is welcomed

(2) User selects simple installation, or use existing installation

(3) Depending on the previous option, enter appropriate information

(4) Choose a database name

(5) Specify custom settings...

(6) More custom settings...

(7) Installing SQL Server 2005 Express + database

This method also has a fix for this problem:

As it injects a new configuration, setup just how you want it.

Sorry you're not quite correct. There are many people using the TV Service without M$ SQL Server...

Did simplify install though, but yes a lot of people use MySQL, I'm not up on whether this is possible (highly likely from your screenshots, but the download limits of this website have to be considered as well, this I believe is the main limiting factor.

Regards
