SQL server is one of the most advanced database programs available, it is a very dynamic program which will adjust installation to suite your machine, as a result installation will vary from machine to machine, however the golden rule is to accept all defaults and click YES if asked any questions. SQL server is produced by Microsoft not tick list software, for further information you can consult the Microsoft website.

When the file has finished downloading which may take anything from 10 seconds to an hour depending on your internet connection, a 'DOWNLOADS' box will appear with the Bird Tick List folder you have downloaded highlighted on the list. Right click the highlighted folder and choose OPEN from the menu.
