..on a Windows 7 x64 machine with SQL Server Express R2 and Visual Studio 2010.
The actual installation was fine, I'm just having trouble running a newly created EPiServer project with the Visual Studio tools. If I follow the instructions listed here[1], when I press F5 (step 3 of the first section) I get the following error:
"A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)"
Stack Trace:
[SqlException (0x80131904): A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)]
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlInternalConnection.OnError(SqlException exception, Boolean breakConnection) +4856727
Am I missing something? The example website (Alloy Tech) runs fine when I create it with the deployment center.
