I went to install a clean instance of 6.1.3 a couple of days ago using Web Platform Installer and I have not been able to work around a SQL error in the installation wizard for 2 days. I am using a SQL Express instance on the same test machine, a 2008 R2 Server that is a member server in the domain. SQL Express 2008 R2 is installed and two other applications use this SQL Express instance and are running fine. I can connect locally and remotely to SQL Express. I have tried everything I can think of.

The error is:
Connection Error(s):
Index #: 0
Source: .Net SqlClient Data Provider
Class: 14
Number: 15382
Message:  

Any ideas on where to point me to solve this mystery?

TIA, Kent

Do you use trusted connection type in the web.config/connection string section? If yes, does your asp.net (ex. Network Services) account have access to DB?

Yes, I am using a trusted connection. I have attempted every combination of user permissions on the DB that I can think of, including grant the EVERYONE group full control as a test. All the usual suspects in this sort of issue that I can think of have been eliminated.

One thing I missed is that one the first page of the Wizard I get the error:

The Auto option has been disabled as the DotNetNuke Application cannot connect to a valid SQL Server database. You can continue to use either of the other two Wizard options and configure the Database settings at the appropriate Wizard step.

I have solved this. I went to attach the DB using SQL Management Studio and got an error for missing files. The path it was expecting this file to be located in C:\DotNetNuke_Build\Website\App_Data\Database2.mdf. I had completely forgotten about this issue. I created a new empty DB named DotNetNuke in the App_Data folder and everything worked.
