Hi everybody.

I've spent the weekend building a new notebook.

We are trying to work with SQL 2005 Express. For some reason, the server won't be found in the StrataFrame installation process.

I found a thread where Ben sugests to insert the server name manually. I did that, but no luck.

Honestly, I don't think it's a Straframe problem, as I then went into the Visual Studio's Server Explorer and tried to add a Database Conection, and it wasn't found there either.

Any clues that could help ?

Thanks.

No sir......... I done the things u said.. I deleted the 3 databases, but still no way... I hope that file help in something.. thanks.......

When you deleted the databases, Ricardo, did you also delete the .mdf files?  looks like they're located in the c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\DATA\ directory... looks like the StrataFrameInternal.mdf and possibly the StrataFrameInternal.ldf files might be causing  problem...

When you delete the database through the SQL Server management studio, check that folder to make sure the files are gone, and then you can retry the install.
