SQL Express 2005 is already installed on the server. If not, install SQL Express 2005 from
Microsoft.com. SQL Server Express 2008/2012 are not supported at this time.

2. On the database connection screen (used to create and update the database), the
default windows authentication option is recommended. You may also choose to
manually enter an existing user and password that have already been created in SQL.
