1. Open Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express from Windows' Start menu by
selecting All Programs > Microsoft SQL Server 2008 > SQL Server Management Studio

more...>, you can select the SQL Server from a list instead.

your choice.

Step 3: Reinstall your system
Do not install your surveillance software on a mounted drive. A mounted drive is a drive that is
attached to an empty folder on an NTFS (NT File System) volume, with a label or name instead of a
drive letter. If you use mounted drives, critical system features may not work as intended. You do not,
for example, receive any warnings if the system runs out of disk space.
Before you start: Shut down any existing surveillance software.
1. Run the installation file. Depending on your security settings, you may receive one or more
security warnings. Click the Run button if you receive a warning.
2. When the installation wizard starts, select language for the installer and then click Continue.
3. Select if you want to install a trial version of your system or indicate the location of your license
file.
4. Read and accept the license agreement, and indicate if you want to participate in the
Milestone data collection program.
5. Select Typical or Custom installation. If you select Custom installation, you can select
application language, which features to install and where to install them.
6. Let the installation wizard complete.
