Excellent I'm sure I'll be taking you up on the TV offer! Thanks

Let me know if you have any issues. I will do what I can to help. Have a great day!

@Richard R and @kamaroman68, how did the installs go or how are they going? Let me know if you need any help. I would be happy to help out.

@David, just finished MYSQL... had a problem where it wouldn't accept my admin name and password so I left as standard... Which I assume lets anyone using the PC can access it... Does this matter?... next up is install AI.zip...

Standard will work fine unless in very specific conditions. You should be good.

@David... Ok, can't install the ai database... robot database does not appear in SQL Management studio after I ran the setupdatatbase batch file... I think it is because my default SQLExpress is actually SQLExpress1 as I screwed up installing it the default way... any way I can use SQLExpress1 instead of SQLExpress? Or do I have to uninstall SQL and start again?

the instance name will need to changed in the scripts. Do you have team viewer on that box?

Crap, no... I will go download it and get back to you...
