If you have not purchased a Business or Enterprise license from ActiveState you will need to use the python.org release and the pywin32 extensions (2014-04-13).
 The easiest way to do this is to download and install ActiveState python which comes with the needed extensions.  Just click through the defaults on the installer and you will be ready to go.  If you want to use python.org installer, maker sure to install it first, then install the win32 extensions.

		+	=== NVIDIA PhysX ===
		+
		+	Currently, the Toolset relies on a version of PhysX which may not be readily accessible to some users, specifically 9.09.0408. It is not included in the latest NVIDIA drivers, and it can render certain parts of the Toolset, specifically pathfinding and lightmapping, partially or totally inoperable.
		+
		+	If you have the game install disc, the correct PhysX installer is included on it. If not, you can download and install it from [http://www.nvidia.com/object/physx_9.09.0408_whql.html NVIDIA's web site].

 '''Note:''' MSSQL Express 2005 is bundled with this toolset and is required for it to function. Unfortunately, MSSQL Express 2005's installer has a limitation that prevents it from installing to a directory path that's longer than 58 characters.<sup>[http://support.microsoft.com/kb/935371]</sup>
-Follow the instructions on [[installation into a directory with a long path name]] for a workaround on this issue.
+However, this limitation no longer affects the installation, since version 1.01 of the toolset installer installs the SQL instance to a shorter path to avoid this issue. It now installs to Program Files\DAODB\.  See [[installation into a directory with a long path name]] for details.

 * Database - Since the uninstaller can't automatically determine if you're using SQLServer Express purposes other than just the Dragon Age toolset, SQLServer is ''not'' uninstalled automatically by default. To have the uninstaller remove the database server as well, unselect this checkbox.
 The uninstaller is generated on installation and therefore isn't signed. This may cause Vista to complain under some circumstances but shouldn't affect the uninstaller's functioning.
