SQL Server not showing up during Dynamics CRM Install
I am trying to install a trial of Dynamics CRM 2011
I have installed the trial of SQL 2008R2 and have enabled named pipes and TCP/IP protocols on the SQL server.
Both Dynamics and SQL are on the same machine, yet Dynamics doesn't see the SQL server during the install process. I am stuck at the screen that says, "Create or connect to a deployment"
If I hit the drop down menu, the only choice I have is for an SQL instance that is running on a different server, and it is one I certainly don't want to install the trial on.
What gives?
