Has the installation routine been changed to allow easy custom settings for SQL server, SQL instance, database name, and database username (that should not have to be a SQL admin - just db owner)? Enterprises really need this support.

I agree, that makes sense.

Do you have plans to change the installer so it can be used with SQL back-ends where you don't have admin rights and may have to conform to various naming requirements?

The alternative is to install to a dev SQL box to let Lansweeper get the local installation done, transfer the database and then change the local config to point to the production SQL back-end where Lansweeper is only a db owner.

This is a kludge for something that should pretty straight forward and simple in the installer: What SQL server and instance? What database name? What database user?

No, the installer is still the same for new installations.

However, if you change settings like database user, integrated authentication, ..., they will not be overwritten when you upgrade to a new version.
