Refer to the following guidelines to install SCT:
- If you install SCT on a server and you do not have an
earlier release of SCT installed, first install or verify that you have a
supported version of SQL Server software. If you install SCT on a desktop
operating system without a version of SQL software installed, the SCT setup
automatically installs SQL Server Express. For details, see Verifying your computer has a supported version of SQL Server software installed.Note: If you have an unsupported version of SQL server software installed, the SCT installation does not install a supported version automatically. You must update or upgrade the version of SQL or install a supported version manually.
- The System Configuration Tool Setup installs Microsoft .NET Framework version 4.7.2. For Windows 10, and Windows Server 2019, a valid connection to Windows Update must be available for the SCT setup to be successful with the installation of .NET Framework 4.7.2. An error message appears if the prerequisite is not present.
