First, we need to prepare a server instance to place the database files into. If you're using the SQL Server 2008 I referenced earlier, run the SQLEXPRWT... program. If you're using another version, run the executable which sets up the server.
(Note: The steps will be for SQL 2008; other versions may be slightly different.)
Installer Steps:
* Choose the "New Installation..." option and wait for a window to appear.
* Mark that you "accept the license terms" and click "Next >"
--------------------------------------------------------
* Allow the installer time to prepare files for installation.
