If you have SQL previously installed, remove it.Reboot PC to ensure is gone.

copy all directories and files from CD to disk drive.
go to directory called /files/SQL 2005
delete SQLEXPR32.exe

go to : http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/deta ... 465cdff1e7 scroll down and download file SQLEXPR.EXE with size 55.4 MB (both version in this file 32 and 64 bits.)
Copy downloaded file into /files/SQL 2005 and change name to SQLEXPR32.exe
Install SQL first using new SQLEXPR32.exe, then uninstall SQL Server from your system. You should be ready for EP with SQL integrated installation now.

run EP launcher
choose English

press button Install software

again choose language English

Press next

accept license

choose advanced - press next

press next - default directory will be used

Select features - tick both boxes - database software and encore pro - press next

should be greyed out "Install new server" - just press next

type new password (what do you like as password, same password in both fields)

press next
press install

you should see installing sql express dialog window - wait until it will finish (can take few minutes - be patient)

Then you should see EP installer when creating database tables and entries.Wait until you see Finish - press on Finish button.

all done !

run EP you should see on dialog window connecting to database.

To get MAKO DT-3500 Card reader working under Vista 64 bit go to : http://www.ais-magnetic.com/en/index.ph ... &Itemid=20
Download and install driver from link above, and you are ready to go.

1) Open the 'Control Panel' & doubleclick 'Administrative Tools'
2) In Administrative Tools doubleclick the 'Services' entry
3) You should now see the services panel - scroll down ...
4) until you locate the 'Smartcard' entry - doubleclick it
5) Set 'Startup Type' to 'Automatic' & click 'Apply'
6) Return to services & check it shows Automatic for startup


Good luck.
