Blimey - you have to install SQL Express on your home PC? Shame as it looks like an excellent program! No reason why that couldn't just be stored in a basic Access DB or something :(

It's just one guy who wrote it for fun - guess he normally works in SQL ;)

Started working through history on the valver (20 years old next month!!), got bored around 1992..

 

Good for monitoring fuel usage etc though and once you have all the history filled in its a great tool to keep on top of it all.

What exactly is, "dot net framework version 2, and SQL 2005 express...".

 

This looks like a fantastic piece of software, hopefully it'll work on my laptop. :?

[Andi 2,147,483,647]

It's extra 'background' software by Microsoft that the program uses in order to work.

On the download page there are links to those two so you can install them.

You may already have the dot net framework already installed - most PCs do - but you will probably have to add the SQL program because unless you're a programmer or use databases a lot, you probably won't have that one!
