SIM and SQL 2005 Express

[Bill Kizer]

Is it possible to run SIMS with 2005 Express? Is there any difference in configuration?

Thanks

HP SIM 5.0 for Windows supports the included Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine (MSDE) or optionally, Microsoft SQL Server 2000 or Oracle (See Quickspecs at http://www.hp.com/go/hpsim). It does not support SQL 2005 or other databases. Support for SQL 2005 will be included in a future release.

Not exactly what I wanted to here, but that's just the limitation. Thanks for the answer.

The question was answered appropriately.

Hiya,

I'm currently running HPSIM on SQL 2005 Express - upgraded the MSDE post-installation..
No problems so far =)
