Setting up ASP.NET Starter Kit Guideline

Software requirements: (For this guideline)
ASP.NET Starter kit
.NET
MSDE
IIS

Install IIS:
Start->Control panel->add/Remove->Windows components
Click IIS (and whatever details you require), and follow the wizard

Install MSDE:
-Double-click the installation package:
-Once you have run the self extracting exe, go to a command prompt.
-Navigate to the directory you expanded the self extracting exe to and change to the MSDE subdirectory.
-Type Setup SAPWD=(Some password) SecurityMode=SQL

Install ASP.NET Starter kit:
-Double-click the installation package:
-Read the license agreement and agree to it
-select local install
-Test connection should PASS (If not, see belowEnabling the TCP/IP protocol)
-You are done! Boot up browser and go nuts!

Enabling the TCP/IP protocol:
1. Run the Server Network Utility from either your SQL Server program group or go to "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn\svrnetcn.exe" and run it
2. Make sure TCP/IP is in the "Enabled" box
3. Stop then restart your SQL Server instance
4. Try reinstalling the Portal Kit

If this doesn't work, for some people, it seems Change SQL Authentication rom "Windows Only" to "Mixed Mode" seems to work
