Required Software
- Visual Studio 2010 Professional or Visual Studio 2019 with the 2010 toolchain configured
- SQL Server 2012 or later (Express is good enough for development)
Install SQL Server 2017 Express
- You can install SQL Server pretty much on the default settings.
- Select Basic under installation type:
- Agree to the EULA if you want to use SQL Server.
- Tell the server where to install files. I changed this for ease on my system.
- It should begin installing and eventually you should see "Install has completed successfully". Click close.
- Select Basic under installation type:
Install SQL Server Management(SSMS)
- You can install SQL Server Management on default settings.
- Select the location you'd like to install SSMS to. The default is fine.
- It will take awhile to install and you'll see a little progress bar letting you know whats going on
- Eventually it will ask you to reboot the system. Might as well as do that now.
- Select the location you'd like to install SSMS to. The default is fine.
Configure MSBuild Environmental Variable
- Click the start button and type "environmental variable". It should be the first entry saying "edit environmental variables for your account"
- Click "Environment Variables" at the bottom of the new window.
- Click "New" under "User variables for YOURUSERNAME"
- Click "New" on the "Edit environmental variable" window and add the location to your MSBuild.
- For me MSBuild was location: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\MSBuild\15.0\Bin
