Help: Can't start chapter 24 of C# Step by Step

Hello all,

I've been blazing through John Sharp and Jon Jagger's "Microsoft
Visual C# .NET Step by Step" book, but I've hit a bit of a roadblock
once I made it to the database section. Specifically, chapter 24,
"Using a Database."

Can some kind soul help me get my machine in a state that I can
continue the exercises in this book?

On page 438, the book gives instructions on how to get the Microsoft
SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine running.

I downloaded and installed "sql2kdesksp3.e xe". Then I rebooted, went
to the \Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
2003\SDK\SDK\v1 .1\Samples\Setu p and entered the following command:

osql - S LYTA\VSdotNET20 03 -E -iinstnwnd.sql

(LYTA is, of course, my computer's name).

I receive the following response:

[DBMSLPCM]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
[DBMSLPCM]ConnectionOpen (Connect()).

I double-click the little SQL Server Service Manager in the tool tray,
and I can't connect to "LYTA", "\\LYTA", "LYTA\VSdotNET2 003" or
"\\LYTA\VSdotNE T2003".

Any thoughts?

I'm using Microsoft Visual C# .net Standard.

Many thanks!

- Phil

Hello again,

Sorry if my subject line was a bit off, so let me rephrase things. To
continue with the book, I need to get Microsoft SQL Server 2000
Desktop Engine working properly on my machine. Can anyone tell me what
to do right and/or what I'm doing wrong? Or point me where I can get
the answers I need? I've been flying through this book, and I'd hate
to lose my momentum.

Thanks so much for your help.

Sincerely,

- Phil

Problem solved. One of my friends stopped by, and managed to get it
running. Have a good weekend everyone!
