Installing the software

[Josh]

So I feel like major n00b even trying to get this software to run. I have a server that is clear of everything, and I am trying to install this to try out this software. I am looking forward to seeing the results and using this software, but I can't figure it out. if my servername is "server" what do I type in the "Type the server name, or choose it from the dropdown list:" I can't get it to work... I need some help! Thanks!

Which sqlserver did you install.
If you installed sqlexpress on the local machine this would typically be servername\sqlexpress
(replacing servername with the name of your server)

[Josh]

so what would I type in the server location field?

If you use your desktop machine you can download SQL Express 2005 (see the documentation)
It's free

[Josh]

that could be my first problem.... 🙂 What version is recommended? And do I install this on a server, or can I run it from a desktop machine?

Which version of SQL server did you install? (sql express, sql 2000, ...)
