Getting the Dragon Age Toolset Running on Windows 7 x64

This took me the better part of the afternoon to figure out, so hopefully I can save someone else the time.

  1. Install the Dragon Age Toolset, ensuring that you uncheck the “Install SQL Server 2005″ option.
  2. Download the x64 versions of SQL Server 2005 Express Edition and SQL Server Management Studio Express.
  3. Install Server and Management Studio with the default settings.
  4. Open Management Studio Express and connect with the default settings.
  5. Right click “Databases” and select “New Database.” Set the name to “dragonage_toolset” and press OK.
  6. Select “dragonage_toolset” from the list on the left and click the “New Query” button in the toolbar.
  7. Paste the contents of this file in the blank window, and click the “Execute” button in the toolbar. You may see some warnings, but that’s OK.
  8. Repeat the process, this time pasting the contents of this file.
  9. Close Management Studio Express.
  10. Run “ConfigureToolset.exe” from your Toolset installation folder.
  11. Click next on the first screen. On the “Content Database” dialog, uncheck “Use the default database” and paste the following into the Database field:
    Provider=SQLNCLI.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security Info=False;Initial Catalog=dragonage_toolset;Data Source=MACHINE-NAME\SQLEXPRESS
    You will want to change “MACHINE-NAME” to match the name of your PC in all capital lettering.
  12. Press Next, and then press Finish. Start the Toolset and you should be good to go.

Hope this helps!
