SQL Server Installation
INTRODUCTION
The data and conguration of all of the toolboxes in the Automatic Tool Control (ATC) system is stored
and managed by the ATC Administration software. However, before the Administration software can be
installed a database system must be in place to store the system information. The ATC system uses
Microsoft® SQL Server 2005/2008 as its database management system. If an existing installation of
SQL Server 2005/2008 is available for use and an administrator user name and password is known
skip ahead to the Using Administrator section of this manual. Otherwise, the following procedure
will install Microsoft® SQL Server Express 2008 that will be used specically for the ATC system.
The ATC Administration software and all support applications, including Microsoft® SQL Server Ex-
press 2008, are provided on the supplied CD ROM. The software can be copied by the installer onto
a thumb-drive for convenience. Microsoft® SQL Server Express 2008 and its supporting software
should be installed in the order as outlined in the following pages. Some required applications may
already be present on the Administration PC depending on the operating system installed. Systems
running Windows® Vista or 7 come pre-loaded with most of the required components for complete
installation. Systems operating with any variant of
Win dows® XP may require installation of some
applications described below.
Tool boxes are shipped from the factory with software pre-installed and should not require loading.
However the tool box software is included on the CD ROM if required for updates or service reinstal-
lation.

NOTE: Before beginning the installation process make sure of the following:
• Make sure before you start that you have Administrator rights to the PC being loaded.
• You may need to turn off “Anti-virus” software that may be running, just remember to turn it back
on after completing the install.
