When I try to install the shopping cart , I get this error InstDSC has encountered a problem and needs to close.

Error: Microsoft SQL Native Client :Login time expired.

Thanks,

SQL permission issue. Make sure you grant the SQL permissions to the account that you are running InstDSC.

Thanks for the reply.

I have Visual Studio 2005, IIS 5.1 and Windows XP on my system.

Can I install and will the shopping cart work on my system?

Check this.

I came accross this in one of your replies-

You need to use Visual Studio internal web server rather than IIS in XP.

Are you referring to the Web Development Sever that Visual Studio 2005 has of its own and what  does it have to do with XP?

Thanks!

Yes. The IIS in XP is version 5. DSC needs version 6 and up.

Thank you for your reply ..I am not clear about this-

Granting SQL permissions to the account that you are running InstDSC . Which account are you referring to?

If you are using windows authentication, then grant the permission to your windows account that you log on and run the InstDSC. If you are using SQL logins, grant the permission to the SQL login and update the connection string InstDSC.exe.config to use that SQL login.

Thanks for your help..I am working on installing the free version.

We would like to know if there are any differences betweeen the free version and the paid version.

If there are then what are the advantages of using the paid version.

Check here for the diffs.

We are using windows authentication..

I executed the following sql statement to grant permission to the user.

GRANT execute TO [SUPREMELEND\Yogita.Devarajan];

I still get the same error while I am trying to install

Error: Microsoft SQL Native Client :Login time expired .Please let me know what is wrong.

Thanks
