Hi,
I have windows application developed in VB.NET

Visual Studio 2008

.NET Framework 3.5

SQL Server 2005 Express Edition

The application has a setup project, on clicking the setup.exe the setup runs and the application gets installed on the user’s machine
The setup checks for the existence on SQL Server 2005 Express Edition in user’s machine, if it is not present then it installs the SQL Server 2005 Express edition.
The application works fine on Windows XP and Vista, but it is not working fine on Windows 7,

Error details are
Cannot open database "ABCD" requested by the login. The login failed.
Login failed for user ‘ABC’ .

Please help

Could you directly login to the SQL EXPRESS and check the database exists for the given username and password. you could download a free management console for SQL Express, if you do not have one

looks like the database you are trying to access does not exist under the given credential
