I just installed the trial edition, and the installation went fine (XP and Vista on the same PC).



However, they both have the same problem... I am unable to execute the Sample applications from the Sample Console because there is a problem connecting to the database. Note: This is in spite of installing the StrataFrame and StrataFrameSample databases (.mdf files) in SQLExpress... which is running as a service.



Any help would be appreciated.
