Support Document Copyright 2012 Axiom. All Rights Reserved. Page 1 Please note that this document is one of three that details the process for installing LearningBay Enterprise. The steps described inside each section do not need to be done sequentially but there are several components that must be installed prior to using these documents Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0+, Microsoft SQL Server Database 2008 R2 and SQL Server Management Studio. Install SQL Server Express 2008 R2 as an alternative if the company doesn t have licenses for the full version. The steps for installing SQL Server Express 2008 R2 are included. 01 Install SQL Server Express 2008 R2 Skip this section if Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or higher is already installed. The following steps are for those who do not have access to a full license for the SQL Server database. SQL Server Express provides the all the functionality required to run LearningBay Enterprise. 1. Download the correct version for the 64 (x64) or 32 bit (x86) installation for SQL Server Express 2008 R2 with Tools. Here is the link to download either versions: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=22973 2. Once the proper file is downloaded, double click to run.
