On Windows Vista, the IMTA software uses Microsoft SQL
Server 2005 Express Edition as its database backend. Hence, any installation of
IMTA requires the installation of Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition
first.
The Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition can be
downloaded directly from Microsoft’s website.
http://www.microsoft.com/Sqlserver/2005/en/us/express.aspx
The recommended version for download is:
SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services
SP3
Please note that this version contains all necessary
components in a single setup file. To install the Microsoft SQL Server 2005
Express Edition database server, Click on the downloaded SQLEXPR_ADV.exe file.
The setup will first install some prerequisites and
then will ask user to select features that are required to be installed. We
recommend that you select all the features to be installed on the feature
selection dialog.
Once all the features have been selected for
installation the user may click next to continue. Another important setup
dialog relates to the security model usage by Microsoft SQL Server Express
Edition. On the Authentication Mode dialog the user must select Mixed Mode, Also please specify alam74 as the sa password.
On the
Configuration Options please check on the Enable User Instances and the Add
User to the SQL Server Administrator Role.
The setup then
displays the installation selection on the Ready to Install dialog.
The user may click
Install to initiate installation. The setup Progress dialog then displays the
installation progress of individual components.
Upon successful installation, the setup may ask for a
reboot. The user is recommended to reboot the computer even if it is not
required by the software.
Once the Microsoft
SQL Server Express 2005 is installed and can be confirmed in a running state.
The second setup is to configure the IMTA database on the server. To configure
the database, browse to the folder: 2_Configure_IMTA_Database_On_Server
And launch the Setup.exe
by double clicking on it.
This will display a
dialog box on the main desktop.
Click on Next to
continue with the installation.
Agree to Licence Agreement and Insert Customer
Information. On the Database Server Dialog, Click on the Dropdown box and
select the installed Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.
This should be (local)\SQLEXPRESS
Please note that
in some cases it may appear that the dialog box will contain
(local)\IMTA. If
that’s the case and the user is sure that the instance name is default then
user should change it accordingly. Also, the user may click on the browse
button to find installed SQL database servers. See following screen shots.
Once the settings
are confirmed, please click on the Next button to continue. On the next dialog
click on “Complete” and click Next and Then Install to configure the IMTA
database on the server.
Click on Finish to
close the dialog box.
After successful
completion of step 1 and 2, the IMTA client application can be installed. To
install IMTA Client application, Browse to the folder:
3_Install_IMTA_Client
And launch the Setup.exe
by double clicking in it.
Please note that IMTA
requires Microsoft.net framework 1.1 runtime. Upon launch, the IMTA Client
setup will attempt to install these pre-requisites. To ensure successful
installation you must select “yes” if asked for any pre requisite installation.
After installation
of these runtimes, the IMTA Client setup will display the IMTA License
Agreement dialog.

dialogs enter/select required information and Click on Next to continue and
complete the Installation.
