Your product says it requires "An Empty database on MS SQL Server 2005/2008 (Express edition with Advanced Services for both 2005 and 2008 are supported)". What is express edition with advanced services? Is this something in addition to SQL Server 2005?

Express editions are the free versions MS offers to anyone which can be used in production environment.

There are links in the above page that will take you to download the express editions. But you don't have to worry about it since you already have a SQL server installed. The important thing here is the Full-Text index engine. It must be installed in order to use the forum software.

Hi,

You can look at the list of services on the machine. If full text search is installed you'll see a service named SQL Server FullText Search ([instance]) where [instance] will be the name of the SQL instance that it is associated with.

If not, all you have to do is download the advanced edition, and install it over the existing SQL server instance. Make sure you
