How do I run the demos that come with this suite?

[Raghu]

I keep getting the following error. I have sql server 2008 express full edition on my windows 7 laptop. How can I configure this demo so that it works?

​[SqlException (0x80131904): A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections.

Hello John,

From the stack trace of the error it seems that either your SQL server is not accessible, or its configuration does not allow the relevant database to be read successfully. I suggest you examine your server settings and validate the connection string used by the demo is properly defined according to these settings.

Hi Sebastian,
My question is how do I configure this with my installation? I have SQL Server 2008 R2. Upon digging further, I discovered that the attached (samples) mdf file has been created with Sql Server 2012. Is that correct?
