Setup problems...

Post by Stef » Wed Oct 25, 2006 5:27 pm

I tried several time to install Vault Server but with no success so far :(
These are the steps:
  • Clean XP SP2
    Logged in as administrator
    Default Install IIS.
    Default Install .NET framework 2.0
    Default Install of SQL 2005 EXPRESS - Windows Security
    Configure SQL EXPRESS to accept remote connections
    Install Vault - default values. When I get to SQL setup (I put (local) and Windows Security in the dlg box)
    • I get error -- can not connect to SQL. Probably because remote connection is not allowed...
Any help or troubleshooting step would be greatly appreciated.

When installing Vault Server with SQL Server 2005 Express, use .\sqlexpress (local machine) or machinename\sqlexpress instead of (local), as SQL Express is installed as an instance.

In addition to Linda's solution, I had a similar setup and had to change SQL Server 2005 Express from its default of just accepting Windows Authentication to allowing both Windows and SQL Server Authentication to get it to work.

One more. I struggled with this for quite some time. Make sure the SQL Browser service is running if this is going to a remote machine.
