Trouble Getting VS.Net 2003 WalkThroughs MSDE Connection

Have successfully installed VS.Net 2003 and had started to use the VS
Startup WalkThroughs for Creating a Web app. It asked for the server
information for a Pub database. I asked the MS Newsgroup for VS.Net Setup
and they directed me to install MSDE and they attached a ConfigSamples app
to create the sample databases. I executed a SQL2KDeskSP3 exe and then the
related Setup asking to create an instance for NetSDK, that they said was
required for the ConfigSamples.



The SQL2KDeskSP3 completed with no message. I rebooted and there is a MSDE
icon in the Systray. It does say Not connected though. When I executed
ConfigSamples it ended with the following window heading and message.



MS.Net Framework SDK QuickStart Tutorials

The samples configuration has completed with errors. Review log for more
details.

And it offers an option to launch.



The log had all pass condition codes except these copied statements

6:43:39 AM Monday, April 25, 2005: [Info] Could not detect NetSDK instance
of SQL Server. Databases will not be installed.

10:45:39 AM Tuesday, April 26, 2005: [Fail] Error executing SQL script.
(Script/ExitCode): InstPubs.sql/1

10:45:41 AM Tuesday, April 26, 2005: [Fail] Could not add QuickStart user to
database.: Pubs: Cannot open database requested in login 'Pubs'. Login
fails.

Login failed for user 'HUGHDANC-BIWWOS\HughBoss'.



I believe that first warning message was left over from an attempt
yesterday. I was able to launch the QuickStart and launch the MS.Net
Framework SDK Tutorials. But when I tried to execute the VS.Net 2003
WalkThroughs and connect to the Pubs database I get the following error
message



Error enumerating data servers. Enumerator reports "Unspecified error"
(there was nothing listed in the server dropdown in the Connection Wizard)



What can I do to rectify this. All that I really want to do initially is to
be able to use the Walk Throughs for VS.Net and maybe try the QuickStarts
for MS.Net Framework SDK tutorials. I have an application I want to make
into a Web based software.



Thanks,

hugh
