why isnt this easy in anyway? why arent there detailed instructions to install this to use with SAM?
ironically as i kept getting the error upon installing sql for SAM i noticed my Administrator try icon changed. So i clicked it and saw the SQL was now running? but the installation kept giving me an error (youll see it below) but now that i can get into Sql administrator, everytime i click USER ACCOUTS, i get an error again that i do not have access using r...@localhost so i cant add users or anything.
