Hi David,

Thanks for the reply.  I acutally saw this before which is for previous version of ACT, and not specifically for ACT 2009.  Does your article holds true for ACT 2009 EX as well?  If the answer is yes what is ACT7 instance all about?

Awaiting reply.

Kind Regards,

Mike

Yes, this also applies to ACT! 2009.

The ACT7 instance is the SQL instance that ACT! uses.  This will need to be manually configured using your SQL 2005 media.  After the instance is configured, you can install ACT!.
