Hello,
After formating my computer to try to solve this strange problem, it is still there!
When I install TV Server, I don't get SQL config dialog box. It goes to the error saying the database could not be upgraded and asking if it should recreate it. Of course, it fails.

How can I go to the SQL config dialog box?
Thanks,

JC

Does anyone have an idea?
I double checked all documentation and settings, all seams to be good on the SQL server side.

Thanks,

JC

I would start by removing and reinstalling SQL.
If that doesn't work try use the other SQL server.
i.e. if you are using Microsoft SQL try MySQL and vice versa

try using sql express 2005 sp2. the sp2 sort out lots of issues.

Uninstall - reinstall doen't change anything. Even a complete format doesn't help.
I would better keep MSSQL server. Additionnaly, I can not get the connection setting screen, I don't think changing the DB server would change anything, but I didn't try.

Even a complete format doesn't help. then there is definately some thing you are doing wrong in the setup. did you watch the video tutorials? they really helped me setting up sql and TVE3.

what version of sql are you using?

Hi,

I use the version where the links point (in the download SVN topic)
I just followed the links and install what I've downloaded.

I followed the Wiki setup guide, but I have to admit I didn't tried the video tutorial.
I will try and let you know the result.

Just for information, I used the same setup procedure from a lot of different version, and suddenly, it didn't work anymore.
I believed I made something wrong or broke something, it's why I formated the PC.

I am seing the exact same problem on Vista with SQLServer Express 2005 SP2.
I tried uninstalling and then removing the TV Server directory completely as well as the database but still no database settings dialog. I have the right configuration of SQL Server and prior to the upgrade to a later TV server build everything was working.

Where are the connection settings stored? There must be something remaining from a previous installation..
