I have downloaded .net 3.5 MonoX,
During the Installation of Web Platform Installer 4.0, getting stucked in last step.
"The specified Password for user account 'sa' is not valid, or failed to connect to the database server."
the window shows the below content::
Default Database admin account for: sa
Database Server : .\SQLExpress
password:

I am using Visual Studio2008 and Sql server2005(windows authonticating mode),
after downloading the monox(.net3.5) and monox wpi launcher.
started to install the wpi launcher all prerequisites after that,

During the Install tab getting specified password for user account 'sa' is not valid.
Even i have not given any password for database or have not given any password during the installation of Web Platform installer. What to do to continue the installation......

Hi,

this issue is directly related to your database server. Do you have mixed mode authentication torned on on your SQL server?

Regards.

Hello,

Unfortunately due to restrictions with Web Platform Installer you must use a SQL Mixed Mode Authentication to install an application which means you need a SQL Server user account in order to install an application. Here is a link how you can change the SQL Server authentication mode: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms188670.aspx

Mario
