Can't create Service based database!

Question

I recently started learning C# and how to work in Microsoft Visual C# 2008 Express and encountered some problems and hence can't proceed with learning C# further...The problem occurs when i try to create Service-based Database!It used to pop up window with following message

"The Event log file is full"

but now it display

"This version is not supported!Only servers up to Microsoft SQL server 2005 are supported!"

Creating such database is essential because the book i use requires it and i have to follow and i did exactly what the author asked...I am using exactly the same program and server,but still experience this problem.

Hope you can help me on this!

Answer 1

You probably have a faulty installation. Try uninstalling EVERYTHING regarding SQL and reinstalling it.

Answer 2

I'm currently using SQL Server Express 2008 and C# Express 2008 - and it works fine. Have you installed the service packs?

Answer 3

You've answered your own question. You have Sql 2008 installed and the error message says anything greater than Sql 2005 is not supported.
