If you run Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013 R2 Setup on a computer where any Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013 R2 components are already installed, you see the following options:

Removing the Demo Database

Setup does not remove the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Demo database. After you use Setup to remove Microsoft Dynamics NAV software from your computer, you must manually remove the demo database.

With SQL Server

Use SQL Server Management Studio to remove the Microsoft Dynamics NAV demo database, which is called Demo Database (7-1). By default, the database is installed to the NAVDEMO SQL Server instance.

If you have installed SQL Server with the guidelines in Installation Considerations for Microsoft SQL Server, then SQL Server Management Studio is already installed on your computer. Otherwise, update your SQL Server installation to include the Management Tools - Complete option for SQL Server.

With SQL Server Express

If you did not have SQL Server on your computer when you installed the demo database, then Microsoft Dynamics NAV Setup installed SQL Server 2012 Express Edition to host the database. To remove the demo database, follow these steps:

  1. From the Microsoft Download Center, download and install Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Management Studio Express.
  2. Use SQL Server Management Studio Express to remove the Microsoft Dynamics NAV demo database, which is called Demo Database (7-1). By default, the database is installed to the NAVDEMO SQL Server instance.

Repairing Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web Server Components

You can use Microsoft Dynamics NAV Setup to install the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web Server components. Setup installs a default web server instance on IIS for the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web client. After the initial installation, you can add and configure additional web server instances by using the cmdlets that are provided in the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Administration Shell. If you run the Repair option in Microsoft Dynamics NAV Setup, then Setup re-creates the initial default environment, which includes a default web server instance, and removes any web server instances that have been added.

To ensure that you can easily re-create the web server instances after you run the Repair option, we recommend that you create Windows PowerShell scripts that add and configure the web server instances.
