I'm attempting to install the .net framework 2.0 sdk samples via
configsamples.exe, and according to the help file, I should be able to
install the sample databases to my default sql instance (instead of
(local)\NetSDK) by running:
configsamples.exe -sql_instance:<instance name>

In an attempt to install the sample databases to my default sql instance I
have tried
configsamples.exe -sql_instance:(local)
configsamples.exe -sql_instance:local
configsamples.exe -sql_instance:<my machine name>
configsamples.exe -sql_instance:default
configsamples.exe -sql_instance:(default)
configsamples.exe -sql_instance:./

and the wizard ignores the switch entirely and asks me to install sql
express. When I tell the wizard to not install sql express, the wizard
completes, but the database-centric samples fail because I don't have the
(local)/NetSDK sql instance installed.

How can I use the -sql_instance switch to force the wizard to install the
sample databases to my default sql instance?

TIA,
