Hi trying to install ms2005 sql express fails with the following system error.
Title: .Net SqlClient Data Provider
Message: A netword-related or instance-specitic error occurred while
establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not
accessable. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL server is
configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Shared memory provider,
error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL server) (Error: 2)

Any ideas about how to successfully complete this installation?

Many thanks,
Jonathan
