Pls ...I need help re: "cannot create database"

[Former Member]

I am new to SAP and I am having a trouble installing my SBO to my laptop, after completing the installation of my SQL server express edition, I tried to install the SAP business one. But when I am already at the server installation the message "cannot create database" appears. What seem to be the problem?

I tried the same process with my desktop yet I never encountered such problem, I was able to install the system successfully.

Please.... any help on this regard will be very much appreciated!

Thanks to all of you!

Hi,

I checked on the thread that you gave me and follow whatever advice available but still wont able to create any database. To give you more info, I only encounter this problem on my laptop, the first time I do it was successful, since I jst get my license key, I tried to un-install SBO from my laptop ang re-install it again and the problem arise . I never encounter this problem whenever I install the SBO to desktop.

Any idea what is the problem?

Calling all experts here...need your help really!

Thanks!

Erdie,

There is no difference what so ever between a laptop or a desktop. I think the files from the first installation are still on your laptop and are causing the issue.

You would probably need to clean all installation files and then re-install.

I am not sure if Business One can be installed on the SQL Server Express. This might be causing the problem.

hello erdie...

i think you wrongly installed your MS SQL Server... in the installation it prompts you to have server componets or client only... usually if you are using win xp the server components is disabled..try to install MS SQL Server Developers Edition if you have....

hope it helps....
