    Installing Umbraco locally using WebMatrix beta 3 - how to?

    Hi there

    I'm trying to install Umbraco locally, using the great tool WebMatrix beta 3 from Microsoft. It really seems like a great tool to test/migrate local IIS sites, without killing my local machine ressources.

    Here is what I do:

    1. Start Webmatrix
    2. Choose a directory for new WebMatrix website, containing an Umbraco Build
    3. Create new dataabse from "New database" in Webmatrix
    4. Start website - which starts Umbraco installer, that works fine
    5. ...and the it (as always) asks for an database connection.
    My problem is, that I cant figure out if I can use the Database in WebMatrix (Microsoft SQL Server Compact database) - creating a local sdf file, since I simply can't find any database user/password/setup/connections settings, in WebMatrix
    Usually use Local IIS and SQL express, which works just fine. I'm not a super techie, sooo :o)
