local server

    How do I install it ?

    Tanx 😀

  • how do i do that ?

  • First

    Start -> Programs -> Microsoft SQL Server 2005 -> Configuration Tools -> SQL Server Configuration Tools

    Then

    SQL Server Network Configuration -> Protocols for MSSQLSERVER

    Restart the SQL Server Service. If you are using Express Edition you need to use your SQL Server as:

    (local)\SQLExpress

    or

    .\SQLExpress

    or

    localhost\SQLExpress

    or

    YourComputerName\SQLExpress
