    Install Fresh VS2015 NuGet - How to use SQL Server?

    I have installed multiple development instances of Umbraco and all work just great.

    Today I am trying to set up my first site that will actually make it to production. I'm wanting to start from a scratch site so all my dev/learning mistakes aren't brought along.

    I have created a new empty solution in VS2015, installed UmbracoCms via the Package Manager. All is fine and ready to go.

    At this point I want to tell Umbraco to use my SQL Server instance.

    I have tried: Remove all connection string settings, hoping to be prompted for database setup on first run. As soon as I'm asked for a user, a new SQLCE database connection is added and everything is set up on SQLCE now.

    I have started the process over and this time set up a SQL Server connection to my existing empty database and this causes the first run to crash because the tables/objects don't exist in the database I'm telling Umbraco to use.

    I then tried the Web Platform installer so I would be prompted for a database and all I could do was SqlExpress.

    How can I start with a fresh install and a fresh SQL Server database?

    Thanks for any guidance!

    Trent

    Theres a Customize button, right next to the install button.

    If you click that, you get to setup the database connection yourself - and choose whether or not to install a starterkit.
