B. Database installation/preparation: |
The database installation in a Windows XP based environment is based upon Microsoft's Database Engine 2000 (MSDE). The MSDE installation package is included in the package of the ADOxx based tool. Alternatively Microsoft's SQL Server Express Edition can be used - this requires to follow the steps as defined for installation of ADOxx 1.3UL1 on Windows Vista and Windows 7 systems. ATTENTION: Using MSDE in a Windows Vista/Windows 7 environment is NOT possible and will result in corrupted installation. - Navigate to MSDE [Windows XP] folder:
The MSDE installation files can be found in the folder "<ADOXX_PACKAGE>\MSDE [Windows XP]" - Adapt the database collation settings to correspond to your language and region settings [OPTIONAL]:
In case you have set a different language for "non-unicode programs" in your installation of Windows XP, please adapt the collation settings in the "setup.ini" file accordingly. Available collation IDs for MSDE can be found in the file "sql_collation.txt" in the folder or by clicking here. The non-unicode settings are available in the control panel (Control panel -> Region and Language Options -> Advanced). Please validate the settings and update collation if you want to enter other characters/language but Latin/English. ATTENTION: The value entered in the screen above is representative only and will be as stated in the figure in most cases. -
To adapt the collation setting, update/change the value in "setup.ini" as shown below. - Run database installation by double-clicking:
Run the installation of MSDE by double-clicking on "setup.exe" (<ADOXX_PACKAGE>\MSDE [Windows XP]\setup.exe). The installation procedure runs without interaction of the user and completes without any message. |
