Stocker, at least for the moment, continues to be centred around SQL Server 2008 as this is the last edition which can be installed on Windows XP – which is still supported by Stocker WMS.
As mentioned above Stocker can be be installed to use existing instances of SQL Server 2005, 2008, and now for SQL Server 2012 and 2014.
Support is now also included for installing Stocker on 64bit machines with an existing 64bit version of SQL Server. The Express Editions of SQL Server installed with Stocker are installed as 32bit versions within the WoW64 subsystem. Now, when looking for an existing instance of SQL Server, the installation programs first look for a 32bit version then, if none is found, they will look for a 64bit version.
To assist in upgrading Stocker, the installers (setup programs) now have the option to pick up and restore backups of users own databases or restore the standard databases provided by the installers.
