Getting sample code to work from a 'Wrox' book...

[RAB]

Hello,

I downloaded the VB samples from the 'Wrox book' website at the
following address
http://www.wrox.com/WileyCDA/WroxTitle/productCd-0764558900,descCd-download_code.html

I installed MSDE 2000

I put the downloaded folder in my ...wwwroot folder and did the setup

In the setup log I get the following:

5/19/2006 10:36:58 PM: [Fail] : Failure checking for existence of
database 'UserList' : SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
5/19/2006 10:36:58 PM: [Warn] : Cannot add user 'Rich\ASPNET' to

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

Thanks,

My problem was...after loading MSDE, I needed to reboot my computer.
