**NOTE:**If a recent release of Bing Ads Editor is already present, these steps are not required – the latest version can be installed over it.
- If necessary, update required Windows components:
- Windows XP SP3: WindowsXP-KB936929-SP3-x86-ENU.exe
- Windows Installer 4.5: WindowsXP-KB942288-v3-x86.exe
- .NET Framework 4.0, extended version: dotNetFx40\_Full\_setup.exe
After each step, reboot if prompted. 2. Install the database for Bing Ads Editor: 1. Download SQL Server 2008 R2 Express to your desktop. 2. Click Start then Run and paste the following command. Click OK. - "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\SQLEXPR32_x86_ENU.exe" /Q /HIDECONSOLE /ACTION=Install /FEATURES=SQLENGINE /INSTANCENAME=ADCENTERDESKTOP /ENABLERANU=1 /SQLSVCACCOUNT="NT Authority\SYSTEM" /ADDCURRENTUSERASSQLADMIN /SQLCOLLATION="SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS" /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS /SKIPRULES=RebootRequiredCheck 3.
