    If you installed Visual Studio 2005, you probably installed SQL Server 2005 express with it. Re-Run the installer, if you haven't

    If you already have SQL Server 2005 express installed, download and use SQL Server Management Studio http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=C243A5AE-4BD1-4E3D-94B8-5A0F62BF7796&displaylang=en

  2. You can create a database using the SQL Server Management Studio. Most configuration can be done through this application. If your server is ready for the prime time, you can use SQL Server Configuration Manager to enable remote TCP/IP connections.
