Did you also accept the defaults of where to install the database on the database server?
I had this issue when trying to create the database in any location other than the default location but once I successfully completed the installation (of all components) I was able to move the database to the location I wanted without it causing any issues on the ARS side.

I am also logged in as an "Administrator" to the server where AR System is installed. I also accepted default values for the ARSystem DB Name = ARSystem; ARSystem DB User = ARAdmin and ARSystem User Password = AR#Admin# I've done installation with the client's DEV environment on SQL 2000 and didn't see this error. Client upgraded to SQL 2005 for the TEST server installation (where I am currently installing). Have you seen this error before? Are there any additional things to conside when doing the install in SQL 2005 not documented in the Installation document? Thanks for your help.
