I have been following the 'Tutorial Videos for TV-Server and Client' and installed (1) Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition (2) Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express (3) Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86) and then (4) Tv-Server & TV-Client Plugin version 04-07-2008 05-08h Revision 18566.

When you then run TV-Server configuration and Test/Save 'Setup Database connection' the installation doesn't progress any further. Clicking on 'Test' button shows there is a connection but when you click the 'Save' button you simply get the same window reappearing again - the installation doesn't progress to 'TV Server management console'.

I then tried 'Tv-Server & TV-Client Plugin version 03-21-2008 02-09h Revision 18123' and installation was successfull. Iwas also successful with Rev 18273. However when I tried Revs 18513, 18560 and 18584 they were unsuccessful - I got the same situation as described above for Rev 18566.

It would seem that something has changed between Rev 18273 and 18513 which prevents TV-Server being configured on my system.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

I've made further attempts to configure TV-Server and seem to run into problems when I move from "TVEngine3 Snapshot: 03-26-2008 05-08h Revision 18279" to "TVEngine3 Snapshot: 03-27-2008 05-08h Revision 18313" and above.

I've looked at the differences in the log files and while they are pretty meaningless to me it would seem that I don't progress to "--check if database needs to be updated/created--" etc once I move beyond "TVEngine3 Snapshot: 03-26-2008 05-08h Revision 18279".

I've attached the log files from the attempt to move to "TVEngine3 Snapshot: 03-27-2008 05-08h Revision 18313".

Any help would be most appreciated.

You have to restart after installing SQL 2005. Did you do that?

No, I didn't - in following the tutorial videos I installed the Management Studio, etc after the SQL Server without any 'restart'. As mentioned in my earlier posts I had success with installing TV-Server versions earlier than 27Mar but seem to run into problems after the 26th. I will try a fresh install and restart as you suggested.

By the way, thanks for the reply - I've had no other takers to date.
