Hi,

I installed an evaluation copy of XPe on VISTA but when I want to start up
the target builder I get the error: Cannot connect to the database.

In the Right bottem corner I have the symbol of the SQL server, which is not
running.

What could be causing this problem? When I dubble click on the SQL symbol
and enter the name of the database I can start it.

Any hints?

Thanks
 
I Think the problem might be that the SQL server is not configured, because
when I open the SQL Server Service Manager the fields with server and
services are empty.

Also, every time I start up my computer I get a window: SQL Server Desktop
Engine: preparing for installation, followed by: gathering information
then another window pop's up: and saids: the following applications should
be closed before continuoing the installation: SQL Server Service Manager
and Microsoft sync centre. And then he tries to close the programs and all
disapearse.

I checked to be sure that I have administrator right over my pc, but this is
ok,

Any ideas? Thanks
 
Emiel,

I posted earlier a link to the "XPe install on Vista" page.
Hope you didn't install MSDE.
