I'm trying to install DNN 4.9.1, I'm starting the installation wizard and I select the typical option, file permissions are all ok but when I test the database connection I get this error message:

Connection Error(s):
Index #: 0
Source: .Net SqlClient Data Provider
Class: 14
Number: 15350
Message: An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file E:\Web\ACSRWeb\dnn_491\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 plan on using the Database in the App_data folder so I haven't created any new databases in SQL Express 2005.
