Hi umbracos,
my V3 installation failed at step 1 with the following message

Your database has been found and is identified as:
Unavailable

I have checked all the posts concerning this problem in the forum but nothing seems to help. I have set up everything as described and my connection string is

<add key="umbracoDbDSN" value="Server=.\SQLEXPRESS; Database=umbracoCMS; User ID=UmbracoUser; Password=UmbracoPwd; Trusted_Connection=False" />

Also
<add key="umbracoDbDSN" value="Server=127.0.0.1; Database=umbracoCMS; User ID=UmbracoUser; Password=UmbracoPwd; Trusted_Connection=False" />

does not help. But whatever server name is use, the message is always the same.
The error log file does not even show the attempt to connect (which is amazing).

However I can connect myself manually to the DB using this credentials.
Are there any new experiences in the mean time?
I am running Windows XP and IIS 5.

Any help is appreciated.
Alex

Have you tried
<add key="umbracoDbDSN" value="Server=127.0.0.1\SQLEXPRESS; Database=umbracoCMS; User ID=UmbracoUser; Password=UmbracoPwd; Trusted_Connection=False" />

Or

<add key="umbracoDbDSN" value="Server=[computername]\SQLEXPRESS; Database=umbracoCMS; User ID=UmbracoUser; Password=UmbracoPwd; Trusted_Connection=False" />

Is it me or umbraco? Umbraco Certified Professional Level 2.

I had identical problem and this solution from Daniel worked for me

<add key="umbracoDbDSN" value="Server=[computername]\SQLEXPRESS; Database=umbracoCMS; User ID=UmbracoUser; Password=UmbracoPwd; Trusted_Connection=False" />
