Sounds like a pain :/.

Could you not use VS 2012 Express + SQL Server 2012 Express and live in harmony? .

Unfortunately not.

I woke up today and removed everything once again and went through regedit to remove any trails. My current issue is getting SQL to connect, which is now not working after a 2012 EE install.

Seems like my target server can not be accessed or does not exist - Which is odd.

Edit: For the record, I've disabled my firewall and enabled TCP/IP in config manager.

Progress, I've addressed the error, tried a bunch of stuff related to the TCP ports and that's seemed to have fixed it.

Now when I go to add a datasource in .NET the Server doesn't appear.

EDIT: SUCCCESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks everyone

That escalated rather quickly.

My Samsung 830 SSD blue screened and appears to now be dead. And I was half way through

*sigh*
