The following are the steps to begin the Standalone installation procedure. You may subsequently select either Express or Enterprise installation as the type. If SQL Server 2005 or SQL Server 2005 Express Edition is not already installed, setup will select Express installation. If MSDE is present, setup will upgrade it to SQL Server 2005 Express Edition automatically.

To begin installing the Server Security Management Console

  1. Run Setup.exe from the directory containing the FSSMC installation files.

  2. Select the "Standalone" Server Role.

  3. Select the Installation Mode:

    • Express installation. This installation type installs its own instance of SQL Server 2005 Express Edition on the local computer. The installation continues with the steps in the section Express Installation.
    • Enterprise installation. This installation type uses an existing instance of SQL Server. The installation has prerequisites. (For more information, see Prerequisites.) The installation continues with the steps in the section Enterprise Installation.
