Step by Step Installation of MS SQL 2012 R2 Express Edition for Horizon Mirage

1.Initate the SQL setup . I have started a new installation

2. .Net framework 3.5 SP1  is required and if not installed you have to.  If everything goes good  you will get all the tests as PASSED.

3. Here instead of choosing a default installation , use named instance. I used SQLEXPRESS.

4.The different services will use different users. Leave it default.

5.Just make sure to add Current user to every service just by clicking Add Current User

6.Add Current User

7.Click NEXT here.

8. Add Current User

9. Make sure you have enough space for its installation.

10.Install it. 

• Will share the installation of Mirage Management Server in next post.
