Well lets start somewhere..

I tried to install on 3 XP Machines.. with no sucess..

Off to the store yesterday bought a brand new Windows Vista upgrade

<UL>
<LI>Installed Windows Vista as a fresh start on the PC
<LI>Note: Comes already with ILL 7 &amp; ASP.net 3.0 installed.
<LI>Installed SQLExpress.
* Found out already have SQL Server (Not Express) Already installed.
</UL>
<OL>
<LI>The attached images are stepped events if original SQL server is used. If Express is used, error states not able to create database!
<LI>I have to use the "SA" as user and password created when SQL Express installed to reach step one! When I read the web.config file it contains the username SA and the password created When SQL Express was installed!
* What steps need to be taken to get it up and running? (locally)
</OL>
Help would be really appreciated as this has now been almost a week of trying!!

Follow the instruction on the error page to switch your web site to the "classic mode application pool."

Sunday Afternoon

Vista Business, user is an "administrator"

MS SQL 2005 with all updates, listed in the TASKmgr as running

I have verified settings with respect to the step-by-step link above.

I enter all the info on the CREATE NEW SITE dialog, I click start, and then this error:

Prerequisites Check
SQL 2005 could not be found on this computer,...

Guidance please.

Was SQL installed as a default instance or a named instance?

SQL Express or a full version?

>> SQL Express or a full version?

Full, enterprise edition

>> Was SQL installed as a default instance or a named instance?

I do not remember having to decide this.

Is there a way to know this now?

Correction

SQL standard edition.

I have another application that uses SQL; it works fine.

And SQL mgmt studio opens and I can create databases,...

The fact that another application is working does not mean much beyond confirming that you have SQL Server installed. The problem seems to be that SQL Server is installed in a way that the BV Site Manager does not recognize.

re named versus unnamed instances: you can install multiple instances of SQL Server. One can be unnamed. In that case the server name is "." or "localhost" or "COMPUTER-NAME" (where COMPUTER-NAME is the name of your computer). You can install as many named instances as you want. The server name for a named instance is ".\INSTANCE-NAME", or "localhost\INSTANCE-NAME", or "COMPUTER-NAME\INSTANCE-NAME".

If you don't recall naming the instance, then you probably have one unnamed instance installed. In that case, you would use ".", or "localhost", or "COMPUTER-NAME" as the SQL Server name in the BV Site Manager.

That instance must be configured to accept TCP/IP connections. To check, launch the SQL Server Configuration Manager, expand SQL Server 2005 Network Configuration, then click on the instance you are targeting. If TCP/IP is not enabled, then enable it.

I'm not sure, but I think the target instance must also be configured to allow remote connections. To to this, launch the SQL Server Surface Area Configuration tool, make sure your target instance is selected, then select Surface Area Configuration for Services and Connections, expand Database Engine, select Remote Connections, then select Local and remote connections using TCP/IP only or using both TCP/IP and named pipes.

You also need the SQL Server Management Objects installed. You can find links to those here,

http://www.bvsoftware.com/downloads/SQLXMO/

Finally, the username and password that you use must have permission in the target instance to create a database, tables, etc.

Or you could just setup a demo at a host that knows how to do all this.
