This short video was made to help begginner or people who want to know a bit more about this Citrix product. This is a very simple way to install Citrix Edegesight 5.01 on a Windows 2003 server.
What you need to set up before is IIS role install on the server and a SQL database. I have try with SQL Express 2005 Adv edition but it wasn’t possible to finish the installation. I’ll try to find out about this issue (-2147217900 error)
Edit 01 dec 2008:
SQL Express is not supported by Citrix but it works. EdgeSight 5.01 on a W2K8 Server with SQL2008 with Advanced Services work, you just have to give the correct ReportServer URL wich is for SQL Express: http://%servername%/ReportServer_SQLEXPRESS (Tip from Pierre)
Anyway, check this video, click on continue reading…
Hi,
Did you check SQL Server Express is not using case-sensitive collation ?
Hi,
Yes I have check but the only difference I have between one installation with this error and without was the version of SQL server used.
With error : SQLExpress Adv
Without : SQL Server Enterprise.
Which mean SQL Express wouldn’t be support, I haven’t check Citrix support yet
If you have some error during the setup check this post, I have put some explanation and some answers :

Hi again,
SQL Express is not supported by Citrix but it works. I installed EdgeSight 5.01 on a W2K8 Server with SQL2008 with Advanced Services.
You just have to give the correct ReportServer URL wich is for SQL Express: http://%servername%/ReportServer_SQLEXPRESS
Cool, good to know
thx for the tip, I add it to the main article.
actually url is http://#servername$/ReportServer$SQLEXPRESS in my case.
It is easy to figure out…go to IIS Manager and look at the Virtual Directories.
Thnx for the tip Jack, I will post a new aarticle to show how to install with SQLExpress.
It works but you can’t schedule reports on SQL Express
