That should not affect SQL Express, but you can of course use 2008 but 2012 will also work.Obviously you can just adjust the connection string in the config file. Unfortunately this still calls for a working copy of mptvdb, which somebody would need to provide (no issue). But then you have the issue of having to set the correct IP address in the database. Also possible with the management console.It is probably easier, safer and faster to just install MP again. Rename the existing directories, uninstall, reinstall and copy the dlls you had manually added/patched.
