Hi All
I have created a virtual server with Win 2008 R2, installed SQLEXPRESS and Application Compatibility Toolkit.

When I run the ACT and try to create a database I can connect to me database (local)\SQLEXPRESS but no databases appear in the box below. I can type the name of a database and click create, but when I do I get a red error saying:

"This database is not compatible with this application"

I check SQL Server Manager Studio and it has created the database. I have checked all permissions that I think are relevant:

(local)\Administrator has "dbcreator" server role
(local)\Administrator has the database ticked in "User Mapping" and db_owner, db_datareader, db_datawriter and public permissions

Under the database - security - users I have the administrator account and the service "nt service\mssql$sqlex ...

Go to the complete details ...
