Alot of trial and error later i've found some errors in my eventlog:
Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed. [CLIENT: <local machine>]
And
Length specified in network packet payload did not match number of bytes read; the connection has been closed. Please contact the vendor of the client library. [CLIENT: 127.0.0.1]
Many users on various forums suggest to delete an appdata folder called "Microsoft SQL Server Data", but I don't have that folder.
Sometimes my sites will get loaded after a 1 minute wait, but without the stylesheet or something else and sometimes i can also open the Casinni web config interface in explorer....
SQL 2008 xpress reinstall - localhost site are now unavailable
Hi there
I needed to extract the data from an MDF database, and reinstalled my SQL Express 2008 RC2 client as it was not installed properly before.
when i try to connect to my localhost sites now, i get a timeout and no error :/
I get this error why trying to connect to http://localhost:
Error accessing the OLE registry.
/iisHelp/common/500-100.asp, line 17
Any takes on this?
My goal here is of course to get connected to my localhost sites again.
I should add the one of my sites run on an embedded mdf database with the following connection string:
<add key="umbracoDbDSN" value="data source=.\SQLEXPRESS;attachdbfilename=|DataDirectory|\Umbraco.mdf;integrated security=True;user instance=True;database=UmbracoDB" />
the other runs with the VistaDB
None of the sites work.
I followed the 2005 express guide about the Configuration Manager and the TCP/IP + port 1433 settings.
I also allowed port 1433 TCP trafic in the firewall. Still no go :(
Would it be easier to uninstall sql express 2008 + IIS and run the Webinstaller again?

My hair is turning grey with this one!
After more hairpulling and testing i think its safe to say that one should NEVER only just add/remove sql2008 and then reinstall.
God damned piece of junk :(
