During your Issue 36 video I noticed that you were using VWD 2008.
Are you also using SQL Express 2008? If so is this on Vista or XP Pro?

I just tried to install SQL Express 2008 on XP Pro and ran into some account issues. If you have already resolved them I would be interested in how.

Currently in the latest tutorials I'm using:

Vista Ultimate
Visual Web Developer 2008 Express
SQL Server 2005 Express

Hi Lee,

I installed VWD 2008 and setup my dnn website.
just before I restore the database from localhost to webhosting server.
I realised that the web host doesn't support sql 2008.
I am wondering, if any way, I can configure my VWD 2008 to use SQL 2005 express?
As well as, can I attach my exist database to SQL 2005 express?

I don't know, when I setup vista I installed VWD2008 and SQL Server 2005 separately, so when I installed DotNetNuke it automatically used SQL server 2005. You could try installing SQL Server 2005 and see if you can either uninstall SQL Server 2008 or set it so that SQL Server 2005 works as default. However the first thing I would do is contact your hosting provider and see if they can convert an SQL server 2008 express database to a SQL Server 2005 database, if they can you don't have anything to worry about and you can just uploaded your database to your web hosting server.

It is very difficult to convert the database from sql2008 express to sql2005 express. To answer my own question, I could not attached exisit database which was attached to sql 2008 express (come with VWD 2008) to SQL 2005 Express.

So a suggestion, if anyone install VWD 2008, you should consider your live web host environment if they are capatable to host sql 2008 database.

For those people have the same situation like me, I would suggest you install VWD 2008 without installing SQL2008 Express. After you install VWD 2008, you can download and install SQL 2005 Express from MSDN website.
