Please Any One Help

Database Server Name should be your computer name
For your case, make sure your computer named "Local"

Execute SQLServer2005_BC.msi.
This file can be found on the SQL installation CD/DVD:
.\x86\setup\x86\SQLServer2005_BC.msi for 32-bits system or .\x64\setup\x64\SQLServer2005_BC.msi for 64-bits system.

This tool installs some dll's that are needed to make Baan-IV or ERP_LN work on SQL2008.

hi Ger van der Kroef, after trying your method for SQL Server 2008,
i am now facing "Wrong version of database software" and "Wrong or erroneous of MSQL: MSQL 10 0"

any further advise on this?

where can i download the porting set as stated in this article?

http://ssabaankb.ssaglobal.com/SRVS/asp/showsolution.asp?solution=243531

ok. i have install 8.6a..
now having below problem

Error creating sub process "c:\Infor\ERPLN\bse\bin\ntbshell.exe" -nse "c:\Infor\ERPLN\bse" -install - server ottiexbsi RetrieveEomDateFile ""

I also faced the same problem while installing the new porting set 8.6a (to work with Windows 2008 Server along with SQL Server 2008 SP1).

Solution that was followed

* Execute the vcredist_x86.exe present in the "Infor ES Porting Set Microsoft x86 Windows 8.6a" folder.

* Start the installation of Enterprise Server Portingset 8.6a (ERP LN).

Is there a solution for this?
Because I fixed the same problem when installing baan 5.0c with oracle
