When installing CS 2.0 (msi install) on my win2k3e box at the point in the wizard, "Connect to Database" where I click next, I get a message, SQL Server does not exist or access denied.

I indicated windows authentication in the cs2 install wizard. 

I also indicated windows authentication in the the sql 2k5 express setup.

Am I missing something?

Never mind.  Found the answer in a previous post.  I read a number of posts that recommended actually not using express in a production environment due to the connection limitation (not an issue for me at this point since I'm evaluating/prototyping). 

I also read a few that did also indicate that explicit servername is a must during the CS2 msi install.  For example BOX1\SQLEXPRESS instead of (local) or even the ip addy.

It did and I'm off and running.
