"Microsoft SQL Servers" not showing in Computer Management.

[Robin Tucker]

Hi there,


Got a small tech support problem. We gave our manual writer an installer
that should install SQL Server (MSDE) and our software. Over the phone I've
managed to ascertain that SQL Server is installed (it is running as a
service, along with SQL Server Agent), but it does not show up in "Computer
Management -> Services and Applications". I need to set the permissions for
this user (over the phone!) in order to get our test software to work and
yet it does not show here. What am I doing wrong? (and/or why would the
MSDE instance not show up here?).

Thanks,



Robin
