Hi, I am totally new to dotnetnuke, and also very new to .NET. Here is my situation:

1. I downloaded 4.5 release (latest), unzipped into a folder that is folder for a website.

2. I am running SQL Server 2005 Express Edition, but on default instance, not named instance (like SQLExpress).

3. I gave proper permission on folder for ASP.NET user and IUSR account.

4. I ran the site, the wizard starts fine. I use Custom installation.

5. On third step, where it is asking about database connection etc, no matter what I try, I end up getting this error:

An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file <path>\App_Data\Database.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.

I have googled this issue, and no resolution seems to work.

I would appreciate help. Thanks
