| I ran into the identical problem when I tried to install the first time. What I eventually found was that the first install had had problems and the registry was then corrupt, and when I installed the product the second time as a result of the registry corruption I couldn't actually connect. I did an uninstall, and then walked my registry looking for all occurences of SQL or something like that, removed them all, and then did a reinstall and voila I was up and running just fine. This may or may not be the same thing that you are facing, as only you would know if you had actually done previous installs that might have failed or something. |
