Installing MS SQL 2005 Express on other drives.

Let say this is for Trend Micro Control Manager 5.0. When you run the installation, you will have to choose the database selection. If you choose "Install Microsoft SQL Express", the only thing that you can specify is the SA password. You can't choose the installation path for your database, hence the database will be installed to C:\ following the TMCM installation.

If you need to install the database component on D drive for example, I would suggest that you run installation for MS SQL Express seperately. Look for SQLEXPR.exe from TMCM installation folder. You will go through the installation wizard. When you come to this screen, select Browse button to browse for the target installation path.
