Hi All,
Bit of a noob question, hopefully with an easy answer.
I'm working through the book "Sams Teach Yourself ASP.NET 4". Installed 'Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2010 Express' & 'SQL Server 2008 Express' from the disk in the book.
Went through the first half of the book fine (already used to classic ASP so not a massive jump), then hit the following error when trying to add a new database to a site using "Add New Item > SQL Server Database"...
"Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed"
I Googled the issue and most of the time this seems to be fixed by deleting the folderC:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server Data and restarting. This doesn't work for me however. I have this on a work PC and my home PC and am having exactly the same issue on both.
Does anyone have any other suggestions on how I can resolve this?
Many thanks
