    Cannot make umbraco use .mdf instead of .sdf

    Using Umbraco And Getting Started
    Umbraco 8

    I've followed the instructions here https://our.umbraco.com/documentation/umbraco-cloud/Databases/Cloud-Database/#localdb to make umbraco use .mdf, but it keeps creating a sdf. I've deleted the umbraco cloud repo and tried to setup it from zero but it still creates a sdf. What could be wrong?

    enter image description here From startup log. Anyone knows why it cloud be that LocalDb isnt detected?

    Connectionstring is default from umbraco (8) cloud:

    <connectionStrings>
<remove name="umbracoDbDSN" />
<add name="umbracoDbDSN" connectionString="Data Source=|DataDirectory|\Umbraco.sdf;Flush Interval=1;" providerName="System.Data.SqlServerCe.4.0" />

    You need a local SQL server on your machine to use LocalDb.

    If you have a local SQL server it uses LocalDb automatically.

    Do you have a local SQL server installed?

    Im 99% sure it is installed. Is there a way to check if it is?

    Search for it in your installed apps

    Has anyone solved this issue? I'm experiencing the same problem after moving to a new laptop. I've updated the applicationHost.config per the linked articles and I've verified SQL Server LocalDB is running. Yet Umbraco insists on creating an .sdf file instead of an .mdf. enter image description here

    I gave up and used local sql express instead:

    <add name="umbracoDbDSN" connectionString="Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=sitename-umbraco;User Id=umb;Password=xxxx" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
