I have SQL Server 2005 Developer installed -- how do I import the MDF file? It's got an incompatible database name (looks like the filepath from the D: drive it was developed on).

That, or a script to create the database would be useful. But assuming SQL Express isn't useful to professional installations.

Found the page covering the (complex) data import instructions. Could this be scripted?

Also -- slick top-level menus, but the page transitions are a little non-smooth. Is that correctable?

Not bad for a first drop.

Try looking at the connection string in the Web.config file. It should contain the path to the .mdf file, which you can change to reflect your setup

kfarmer, I agree that for large scale deployment a higher end SQL Server 2005 product would be best. As this is just a sample app for exploring the Atlas Wiki application code on your local development machine SQL Server Express should be fine.

I think SQL Server 2005 Express and SQL Server Developer share the same MDF file format so you should be able to attach the MDF file in the Developer edition.

Also check that SQL Express has permissions to the App_Data directory. A snippet below from the readme.txt

iii. If you have other database-related error messages check that the wiki's
App_Data directory permits write access for the anonymous internet account
on the PC. If you are running WinXP you will need to add the [server]\ASPNET
account to the list of users allowed to write/modify the App_Data folder.
If you are running WinServer 2003 you should add the [server]\NETWORK SERVICE
account. Normally, however, the security settings on this folder should
be correct by default.
