Error installing to Windows 2008 R2 SQL Express 2008 R2
-
I originally attempted to install the Mu version of WordPress to this same configuration and had some issues. I used the directions at this location —

After posting to the WordPressMU forums, I was instructed to get WordPress 3.0 and install it. Not I have a slightly differnt problem.
First — I have downloaded WordPress 3.0, however the README file makes no mention of compatability with Microsoft SQL Server 2008 either the full or Express version. Are there any detailed instruction posted somewhere on configuring WP and Microsoft SQL?
I decided to attempt the install of WP3.0 using the directions linked above. The initial screen shots match. Now the problem I have is being unable to connect to the SQLExpress instance.
On the initial setup screen I enter my Database Name, User Name, Password, Database Host and Table Prefix. After clicking submit, I receive an error —
Error Establishing a databas econnection
I noticed that the wp-config.php file never gets created as well, so I used the template sample, plugged in my info, and tried browsing back to the site and get an error 500. I am at a bit of a loss now.
