I am going to install umbraco noe. There is a web installer I tried. It looks like it requires username and passowrd for sql server express.
My question is that I already have sql server 2008 r2 developer edition installed. Can I use it or I have to get sql server express as well. I just worry that too many version will cause mess up. Because I saw in the drop down meny only having sql server expree selectable.
If I select Web Platform Installation. Then in the windows a lot of stuffs need to be installed. Such as:
Umbraco CMS 9.08 MB
Microsoft WebMatrix 7.09 MB
Microsoft SQL Server Compact 4.0 (Depency) 2.5 MB
Microsoft SQL Server Compact 4.0 Tools (Dependency) 0.79 MB
ASP.NET Web Pages (Dependeny) 0.59 MB
ASP.NET Web Pages Languages Packs (Dependency)
SQL Server 2008R2 Management Objects (Dependency) 10.42 MB
...... Many many
I already Visual Studio 2010 Professional Edition and SQL Server 2008 R2 installed on my machine. So it will be duplicate and could cause mess up because there is no click option for installation.
Could you please give me a right link for installation?
Web Platform installer has alot of dependencies, I had SQL Server 2008 and Visual Studio 2010 installed prior to web platform installer and just let the installer do it's thing ang everything was fine.
If you're worried, you can just download and install Umbraco manually, the platform installer is there to make things easier.
Open up SQL Server management studio and see what connection is used there, the installer isn't doing anything different, it's just asking for your database credentials.
SQL Server version

Thanks for your help.
Hey admore,
Welcome to the forum.
I think there's still a problem where the web installer does not recognise that you already have SQL Server R2 installed.
You can multiple versions of SQL server on the same machine though.

Okay. Now the default server is .\sqlexpress. Should I change it if 2008 r2 is used? Should I create a new database first?
installer can create the database for you, it's up to you which server (express or 2008) you want to use, makes no difference for development.

Okay. I want to use sql server 2008 r2. So the location is .\MSSQLSERVER or MSSQLSERVER?
The difference is there is a .(dot).

Thanks. One more follow up question. It is hard to login the forum this morning, I tried several machines and change password then successfully.
What is the setting for login?
