    Installing i cannot get past the installer trying to install SQL MSDE and this fails.  Even though i have SQL express 2005 already installed.
    Is there a way to get the installer not to install SQL and just install the tool?

    Sorry about your issue.  Can you please send us a copy of the logs located in your %temp%\maps installer logs?

     

    You can install SQL separately.  However, MAPS uses a non-default instance of SQL Server 2008 Express.  So if you are installing SQL Express separately you will need to make sure that the instance you create is named MAPS.

     

    You can use the download located at:

    http://www.microsoft.com/express/sql/download/

     

    You will need to make sure that you download the SQL Express that is appropriate for the machine that your running MAPS on.

     

    Thanks,

    Eric
