I just installed Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate and i created an ASP.NET Web Forms Site. I run the site it works fine. But when i try to use the already provided Registration medium i get this error

HTML

Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed.

I have SQL SERVER 2008 R2 installed with the default instance "SQLEXPRESS". I've also been battling with this problem with two of the most recent versions of Visual Studio for some weeks now. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

I believe that indicates your SQL process and/or service is not running on your machine. Check the task manager to see if it is.

Did you suggest i connect to the server first using the management studio before running it? Because i just did and the same error came up.

Not exactly. Start the "task manager" and look at the SERVICE and/or PROCESSES there. I had this same issue happen to me last week and it was because my process was stopped. It will say something with "SQL" in it, of course. I cannot think of the exact verbiage.

Just checked and both IIS and SQL Server processes are running

Odd, I am out of ideas. Hopefully someone will come along to help that has a better understanding.
