DotNetNuke_04.05.01_StarterKit - Trying to create the project install. Against SQL Server 2005, checked named pipes, can connect with SQL Authentication from Regular Visual Studio Database Project using newly created User for the new DotNetNuke Install... Manually created database to match name of newly created website from the starterkit

Began with names like DNN4_5, got this error deleted everything tried again with default "DOTNETNUKE" project name, DataBase name. Still same error...

Newly created user can logon to SQL Server with its password SQL Quthentication... no probs...
added same to Web.config
CORRECTLY I BELIEVE:












Please Advise ASAP Named Instance of SQL Server 2005 Brand New Machine, VS 2005

So I thought I'd be slick and just force it to install by removing the case statements and just calling the method in Global.asax.vb Line: 82 " CreateUnderConstructionPage()" To no avail ...
