When I attempt to install the Blueprint Analyst Database I cannot install the database and receive the following installation message when selecting a remote SQL server.
Error: You must specify a Database server that is either local or a local named instance
How do I install a Blueprint Database on a remote SQL server?
Pharos Blueprint does not currently support a remote SQL server database installation using the standard installers. You can perform a manual installation of the database using the following instructions.
You need to perform the following steps locally on the database server using the files from the CD under \program files\PharosBlueprint\Database\MSSQL, then select the remote database instance when you run the Analyst installer.
Edit and execute CreateAnalystDatabase.sql
Copy appropriate (2000 or 2005) psbprocs files (psbprocs.mdf, psbprocs.ldf) to server. Edit and execute UpgradeAttachProcsDB.sql
Execute AnalystDatabase.sql against psbprint database
Execute PartitionDatabase.sql on each of the partition databases
Edit and execute SetupAnalystDatabase.sql against psbprint database
Execute PartitionSetup.sql against psbprint database
There is a Blueprint sizing guide on DocuShare that contains database sizing information to help with step 1.

As guidance, below is a section cut from the .bat file that Patrick uses to quickly set up the DB on his machine.
