Why not run a local copy of SQL Server Express, run the scripts yourself to import the DB's, than use the migration tool to convert it all over?

However, the toolkit is apparently for migrating data from one database to another and I don't have direct access to the data vendor's database. I only have the MSSQL scripts for creating a database of the tables they use and tab delimited text files of the data. I'm looking for something that will translate/run the scripts for MySQL so I can set up the tables. Once I've done that I can import the data from the text files.
