Installation advice and tips

Error:  The selected instance "(local)\SQLEXPRESS" returned the following error, The selected instance "(local)\SQLEXPRESS" returned the following error, [DBNETLIB] ConnectionOpen (connect()).]  SQL Server does not exist or access denied.

A "SQL Server does not exist or access denied" message during installation indicates that SQL.  Server is not installed or SQL Server is not running locally on the system.  You will need to manually install bitB if the installer can't find an active local install of Microsoft SQL Server or if SQL Server or if SQL Server is installed remotely.
