    Database installation fails with no error detail

    Newbie.  Server 2008 IIS Express  SqlExpress

    I have downloaded V5 Beta1. Unzipped and added to ,Net4 pool

    Run install (http://localhost:81/Install)

    Create empty database in SqlExpress under sa.

    The install startup page displays. Click  Lets' get started.

    Database config page displays : Enter: server name / db name / sa / sa pwd  and click  Install

    The Installing Umbraco database page displays. The progress bar completes in a couple of seconds and

    Installation Complete displays.

    Click Continue and the previous (lets get started) page displays. No objects have been created in the database.

    Is there a log file somewhere that will give me an idea as to what is going on?

    I have found the answer. I was entering the server name as machine name\sqlexpress (ie. WEBDEV\SqlExpress)

    By only entering \sqlExpress for the server name, the database install completed correctly.
