If in your PC you have already installed another edition of SQL Server 2005/2008, this item is not required.
The automatic installation procedure of SidekickPC installs all software pre-requisites and the SidekickPC software using default settings in an unattended way. The installation procedure automatically installs Microsoft SQL Server 2008 SP2 only if it does not detect the presence of an SQL Server 2008 R2 instance in the local computer. The detection of the presence of SQL Server instances occurs by means of the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) technology.
In case the software installation procedure detects the presence of more than one instance of SQL Server, the selected database instance will be the first Express Edition that WMI enumerates or, if no Express Edition is present, the first enumerated instance. If you want to override the default installation parameters of SidekickPC, you must install it manually. Please refer to the appendix for further information on this matter.
