SQL Server Express 2014 - Manual Install

1.0 Installation Guide


1.1 Introduction
SQL 2016 does not work with 32-bit versions of Windows. Therefore if you are
using a 32-bit version you will have to manually download and install SQL Express
(we recommend you install SQL Express 2014) as that is the most recent version of
SQL Server that supports a 32-bit operating system.

We include the new SQL Server 2016 because of the recent enhancements and
modifications are built on the latest version of .NET Framework (version 4.6).

If you are using a 32-bit version of Windows, a 64-bit version of Windows 7 or


Windows Server 2008 R2 (Incl. SP1) you will need to install SQL Express manually.
You can download the installation file directly from the Microsoft website. The link
to use is noted further on (in section 1.4).

NOTE: If you are upgrading an existing installation of Doors.NET then this


document does not apply. Existing systems will use the existing, installed version of
SQL Server.
