I'm afraid I don't know much about the web platform installer. However it seems like your database or DB server isn't set up correctly. Do you have a sa (system administrator) password for your DB server installation? If so, can you log in with your sa account via the SQL server management studio (SSMS)?
If not then you can just log into the SSMS with your Windows account (choose 'Windows Authentication'), go to Security->Logins->right-click on sa and set a new password. You will then need to use this password in the database section of the web installer.
Don't know if you got it working, but i have the same problem. I got my Umbraco installation working on my old computer running Vista - but just can't get it working..
I've tried doing what Sascha suggested, but i still get the same error..
I have the same issue in my new Windows 7 Ultimate installation with WP Installer and running SQLExpress 2008 with SVC PAK 2. Please see error message post in this forum under installtion.
installation problems
Hi I'm quite new to this, so please bear with me
I am trying to install Umbraco on Windows 7 using the MS web platform installer (installing locally)
it asks me to enter 'Umbraco CMS' application name
I used 'test 123'
then on the next screen I dont change any of the usernames, but enter my own passwords (8 letters 1 number)
the rest of the fields I leave as the default info
the login fails for user 'sa' and it asks me if I want to continue with the install. I click 'yes'
after the install I get a message the UmBraco didnt install
database 'Umbraco' could not be created, login failed for user 'sa'
SQL Server 2008 Management objects successfully installed
any help appreciated!!
