  • Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 (Includes 2.0 and 3.0). Go to Windows Features -> Turn on .NET 3.5.
  • Microsoft SQL Server Express (Usually version 2014 or 2017, depending on your Dialogys build)
  • Internet Information Services (IIS) – This is the biggest hurdle. Go to Control Panel -> Programs -> Turn Windows features on/off -> Check "Internet Information Services" AND "IIS Management Console".

Troubleshooting Common Errors

  • "SQL Server Connection Failed": This means the database service didn't install or start. Go to Windows Services, look for "SQL Server (DIALOGYS)" and try to start it manually.
  • Missing Images/Diagrams: The images are stored separately from the text data. Ensure you copied the IMAGES folder correctly into the database directory.
  • Runtime Error 217: Usually caused by regional settings. Change your Windows system locale to French or ensure decimal separators are set correctly in Windows settings.

Modern dealerships no longer "install" a local database. They use an online portal. Web-browser based via the Renault Infotech portal. Requirement: Requires a paid subscription and authorized dealer login.
