When I read “I would like to install it on the server“, I thought you wanted to run the installer on the server, and that’s why I said “install it on a local drive (on the server)”, but it seems that you want to run the installer on your pc and put your database on the server. It that is true, then, as MrDenny stated, you can’t.

If it is a Windows server that you want to install it on, you can use something like Remote Desktop to enable you to initiate a session on the server , and then install it from there.

If anyone can post an answer on how to install this on the server, please respond.
