Database Installers SQL express engines - installers and utils When repairing anything stick with the same version, or you face forced-upgrade issues and create a Platinum2 instance! Which will likely fix some basics. Be aware that SQL express is x86 if installed from 2017 installer - upgrade with x86 only (seemingly). Latest Platinum 2017 installer installs 2008 express SP2 engine for upgrades/manual installs(32 or 64) Here 2012 SP2 express direct (for upgrades it's x86): https://download.microsoft.com/download/0/1/E/01E0D693-2B4F-4442-9713-27A796B327BD/SQLEXPR_x86_ENU.exe 2014: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=53167 OLDER VERSIONS (*CRUCIAL* If a database has crashed you must reinstall the same engine version or it tries to upgrade it firstly) (might be just 64 bit), but it needs the .net framework v4.0 installing first below Sql Server 2008 Express **SP2 32/64** Here more advanced but for 32 use the smaller SQLEXPR32_x86_ENU.exe (same but no 64 bit component bloat) (2nd choice only)Sql Server 2008 Express direct link for troublesome installs(basic web installer now, install / windows update to SP1): Sql Server Express 2005 should be available for the forseable future via Microsoft.com

to use this version in Platinum in future without coming here overwrite it by copy the old files 'name'
then deleting the old file, first copy the help.zip(runMe .exe) from the .zip, then rename to the old files name.
If you get a dead link you can get most files from any recent installation the letter-case of the links can also be changed to see if it helps. e.g. Uppercase first letter of each word.
