Parts 1 - The Compleat Botanica

Compleat Botanica - More notes about the installation of SQL Server Desktop
Here is a snapshot of the first screen
you will see during the installation
of SQL Server Desktop Engine.
Here is a snapshot of the
message you will see if the
"Windows Installer" is being
installed or updated.
Troubleshooting Installation SQL Server
When the SQL Server Desktop Engine installation process is launched, the script
may need to install a newer version of the "Windows Installer". Windows
Installer is an operating system utility that many setup programs use. If your
computer does not have version 1.2 of the "Windows Installer" the script will
begin by installing or updating this utility.
See the snapshots below for samples of how this process will look.
If you see this screen right after uninstalling a
previous copy of the Compleat Botanica, it's really an
indicator that you need to restart your computer.
