Hi,
I am newbie to SQL 2008 installation - I installed SQL 2008 on to my Windows
7 , but I am not able to register my local server when I selected
Task->Register Local Servers. I got an error

TITLE: No Local Servers Found
------------------------------

No local servers of type 'Database Engine' were found.

------------------------------
BUTTONS:

OK
------------------------------

What am I missing?
Thanks for your help

Can you connect to the Database Engine and just can't register it? Or can't
do anything?
Perhaps setup failed or you didn't really install the DB Engine, just other
components. (Setup is overly complicated.)
Can you start the Database Engine? Instructions here
