Installation Backup Exec 11d doesnt accept MSSQL Express SP1

Frank van Braak's picture

I am having problems installing BackupExec 11d on our Windows 2003 Small Business Server.

I am starting the installation process and everything is working fine untill I need to specify what SQL DB I will use to backup SQL-databases.

I can choose our SQL 2005 installation but I don't want to use that. The other option is using a instance of MS SQL 2005 Express SP1. When I select that option I must choose the MSSQL 2005 Express SP1 installation file to run the setup.

I downloaded the latest version from the website of Microsoft, both versions (Normal/Advanced), I tried the SETUP file from the installation cd. But all 3 versions didn't work. The setup says it isnt the right MSSQL Express 2005 SP1 installion file.

What other options are possible for me to try?
I hope the problem is clear and that somebody will have an answer for me.
