The Compleat Botanica is installed using a two-step process:

Step 1) Installation of the Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine

Step 2) Installation of The Compleat Botanica software

Between steps 1 and 2 you will need to restart your computer.  Both steps are performed by running the Setup.exe program located in the Setup/ directory of the CD.

Note that the choice you make for the question "Where do you want to put the software?" applies to both steps.
