How to Install SAM Broadcaster with Microsoft SQL Server or Microsoft SQL Server Express

Microsoft SQL Server is an ideal database for those who develop in Microsoft technologies like ASP and .NET.

Make sure MS SQL is already installed on your computer. You can install a free (“Express”) version of MS SQL here.  Don’t forget to select the MSI Installer that applies to your operating system (either 32-bit or 64-bit).

Use the administration tools to create a database called “SAMDB.”  Then use the administration tools to create a user login that can access the database and create and modify tables.

Download SAM Broadcaster from your user zone and install SAM Broadcaster with MS SQL, following the installer’s instructions.

After that’s done, run SAM Broadcaster to wrap up the installation process.
