I've investigated a lot on the web but still cannot correct my problem with SQL Server 2008 Express.
I already have an SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition default database set up on my Vista machine. I also have loaded Visual Web Developer 2008 and all works fine.
Now i have downloaded SQL Server 2008 express an given it a named instance XXXXXX.
However, i get errors when trying to connect via SSMS 2008. I have attached my LOG file which indicates the model and tempdb physical file locations are a weird directory location on e: drive which doesn't even exist.
I have read a number of forums about running the cmd and sqlcmd commands in order to ALTER the locations for these database files. However my tempdb is not even created yet for the new instance since i have yet to start the service for the first time.
Does anyone know exactly what to do to get the services running?
