If you installed your SQL Server Enterprise without an instance, then you should just use the machine name.

EDIT: "SQL DatabaseServer Instance" shouldn't be a required parameter or should at least allow an empty string. For now, you can get away by specifying a whitespace for it. I did and it installed for me.

  • You are right, they shouldn't be asking for instance name. I'll make sure the Web PI team gets a bug filed :) For a solution, see an edit. – kateroh Mar 11 '11 at 23:30
