Before buying ILookPI, we strongly request that you follow Section 1 below to insure you can efficiently install PI on your system.

All major Sql Install problems center around a computer system either not enabled for computer forensics or not system conditioned so that SQL Server will install correctly. Without SQL Server (all downloads are free to install), ILookPI will not install successfully.   It is fully dependent on the pre-install requirements.

The following guides will reach the goal of a successful first attempt installation, if, but only if, they are followed in the detailed order as provided.

Installing PI will take less than one minute at the end of this process.
