Download Installation Issue

[huma]

I have downloaded Ablecommerce 7 shopping cart free trial. And trying to install it but im having issues


I Have created a folder Test(Website Folder) which has all the folders and files I downloaded from AbleCommerce. This folder is in "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot" thus the URL I use to run it is http://localhost/Test. When I Choose "Specify connection string
(Advanced) Option" and give the string
"SERVER=D10927\SQLEXPRESS2005;DATABASE=OrderTreeLive;" it gives following
error:

The specified database connection could not be opened.

Connection String: SERVER=D10927\SQLEXPRESS2005;DATABASE=OrderTreeLive;
Provide your license key and database connection to complete the first step of installation.

When I choose the "Use supplied SQL Server 2005 database" Option it initializes the database. But I want to use my own database.
Also I am using following connection string in my code in another project and it is working fine:

Con.Open "Driver={SQL
Server};SERVER=D10927\SQLEXPRESS2005;DATABASE=OrderTreeLive"
Con.execute("select blabla")

Make a clean install, First remove not replace all the contents from the test folder and then copy and paste all ac package again in the test folder. When specifying advance connection string it should be as below

Code: Select all

server= D10927\SQLEXPRESS2005;database=OrderTreeLive;Integrated Security=true;

and also please make proper db type selection from dropdown avaiable.

I followed the directions and i get the following error:

The specified database connection could not be opened.

Connection String: server= D10927\SQLEXPRESS2005;database=OrderTreeLive;Integrated Security=true;
Provide your license key and database connection to complete the first step of installation.

This could be due to some configuration of your SQLServer, Also make sure that you properly created the database and double check that you are using the same database name in connection string.
