Select the SQL Server Provider, and Click Next.
Coming to the next screen, you choose the correct instance of SQL, and use either Windows or
SQL authentication. If you are not familiar at all with SQL please use Windows authentication.
When you choose SQL server and it asks for the account, this is the sa account. Remember if
you want to us the sa account it must be enabled in SQL, and you must have a password
activated. We find that setting your SQL to use mixed mode authentication is helpful and will get
you through any issues on this screen. Still, we find the majority of customers who have no SQL
knowledge getting stuck on this particular screen. If you are not sure what to put in the SQL
server field, or what an instance name is, open SQL Server Management Studio. The very first
screen in Management Studio has the SQL instance name you can copy and paste into the
setup wizard.
