I am using Visual Studio 2010 on a Windows 7 PC. I have installed SQL Server 2008 Express.
When I am trying to create a database in VS2010 I get the error: "Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for
the user instance".
One common recommendation is to delete the below folder:C:\Documents
and Settings\YOUR_USERNAME\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server Data\SQLEXPRESS
Go to the complete details ...
