    Blank SQL express 2005 - missing instructions?

    In Petr Snobelt's very (at least potentially) useful blank SQL db page:
    http://our.umbraco.org/projects/developer-tools/empty-sql-express-db-for-umbraco

    He states:

    In step 2/5 in the Umbraco installation choose custom and use this connection string (note DatabaseName must be unique for each installation on same machine:

    A few questions.
    1) Step 2/5 is the License page does he mean 3/5?

    2) On 3/5 the database page, there is no "custom" option. Maybe there was in earlier versions. The options are:
    I already have a blank SQL Server or MySQL database
    I want to use SQL CE 4, a free, quick-and-simple embedded database
    I'm an advanced user, let me put in the connection string
    I need help

    So take an educated guess and choose the third option?

    3) Following the instructions (download db, rename etc..) and pasting the connection string into the text area I get:
    Database connection initialisation failed.

    Have I missed some vital other action? Did I need to do anything to the web.config and if so what?
