I just tried installing innovator, and when I get to installing a database it gives me an error and says it can't connect.
I checked my login and password and both are correct. Any ideas what is wrong?

The most common reason for this type of problem is that you are trying to connect to Microsoft SQL Server Express Edition. SQL Server Express is not installed as the default SQL Server instance, so trying to connect to localhost will not work. Below is an example of the error you would see in this case:
This message itself explains the change that needs to be made. You need to replace "localhost" with "MACHINESQLEXPRESS". Please note, MACHINE is my generic reference for the name of the machine that SQL Server Express is installed on.
