Installation and setup of Microsoft SQL Server may fail if one of the system requirements are not met. Check if the requirements are met, and retry the installation if possible.
In some environments, installation of the preconfigured SQL Server may be problematic for a variety of reasons. In such cases, advanced users are recommended to manually install a newer version of Microsoft SQL Server, or to use an existing SQL Server installation if possible. Coffalyser.Net works with all editions of SQL Server of version 2014 SP3 and higher, and can connect to SQL Servers that are hosted elsewhere in the network if needed.
Please contact us for personal assistance if you keep experiencing issues while installing SQL Server – in our experience, remaining issues are usually very specific to a particular system, and personalized support is often required.
Background
Coffalyser.Net uses a Microsoft SQL Server database to store all data. As part of the installation procedure of Coffalyser.Net, Microsoft SQL Server 2014 SP3 is downloaded and installed. Although Coffalyser.Net usually installs without issues, issues that do occur are almost always due to SQL Server in combination with specific properties of the computer.
