I'm trying to install 4.09.03 with sqlserver express 2008.  I get the following error:

Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed.
I'm not sure what to do. 
Please help.

Thanks
Adriana

You have SQLExpress installed and running? Did you change the name of the instance to something other than SQLExpress?

It's installed and running.  I added the new database.  Did not change the name of the instance.

With DNN you don't have to add the database, it will do it automagically for you if your instance name is the same. The DNN DB for SQLExpress lives in the app_Data folder.

If I get rid of the db, I still get the same error.
