I am attempting to build a sql server 2008 R2 installer for XP (yes i know but the place i work at still uses XP!)
Here is the problem:
The Sql Server Express 2008 R2 installer works fine for the Admin user of the PC who installed it. The software that uses the Sql Server runs brilliantly.
osql -L returns the correctly named instance.
However when another user logs into that pc, the Sql Server is available - but the created Instance "MyCoolSqlInstance" is not.
osql -L returns an empty list.
How do I make the instance available to all users of the PC? (there will be Admin and non Admin users).
cheers
