If you are updating from a version prior to 2.68 then we recommend that you uninstall any previous version of Archive Manager ( saying 'Yes' to keeping the existing configuration database) before you install a new version, then select 'Yes' when prompted to use the existing connection when installing the new version. This will preserve all of your settings and jobs.

Archive Manager version 2.68 requires that you have the .Net framework version 2.0 installed and an available SQL server to install the configuration database too (or a locally installed copy of SQL 2005 Express). Installation on SQL 2000 and SQL 2005 is supported via a fully scripted and automatic database creation routine.

We recommend that you use SQL Express 2005 installed onto the machine Archive Manager is to be installed on.

SQL Express 2005 can be downloaded for free from Microsoft website -> SQL Express 2005 download page.

Please note that the installation routine requires internet access to download additional components if required.
