# How to Deploy the App-V Databases by Using SQL Scripts


Use the following instructions to use SQL scripts, rather than the Windows Installer, to:

-   Install the App-V 5.0 databases

-   Upgrade the 5.0 databases to a later version

**How to install the App-V databases by using SQL scripts**

1. Before you install the database scripts, review and keep a copy of the App-V license terms. By running the database scripts, you are agreeing to the license terms. If you do not accept them, you should not use this software.

2. Copy the **appv\_server\_setup.exe** from the App-V release media to a temporary location.

3. From a command prompt, run **appv\_server\_setup.exe** and specify a temporary location for extracting the database scripts.

   Example: appv\_server\_setup.exe /layout c:\\<temporary location path>

4. Browse to the temporary location that you created, open the extracted **DatabaseScripts** folder, and review the appropriate Readme.txt file for instructions:

   <table>
   <colgroup>
   <col width="50%" />
   <col width="50%" />
   </colgroup>
   <thead>
   <tr class="header">
   <th align="left">Database</th>
   <th align="left">Location of Readme.txt file to use</th>
   </tr>
   </thead>
   <tbody>
   <tr class="odd">
   <td align="left"><p>Management database</p></td>
   <td align="left"><p>ManagementDatabase subfolder</p>
   <div class="alert">
   <strong>Important</strong><br/><p>If you are upgrading to or installing the App-V 5.0 SP3 Management database, see <a href="https://support.microsoft.com/kb/3031340" data-raw-source="[SQL scripts to install or upgrade the App-V 5.0 SP3 Management Server database fail](https://support.microsoft.com/kb/3031340)">SQL scripts to install or upgrade the App-V 5.0 SP3 Management Server database fail</a>.</p>
   </div>
   <div>

   </div></td>
   </tr>
   <tr class="even">
   <td align="left"><p>Reporting database</p></td>
   <td align="left"><p>ReportingDatabase subfolder</p></td>
   </tr>
   </tbody>
   </table>
