7.6 install - HELP

Hi

I'm a noob to metastorm - trying to install v7.6 on my windows 7 32bit machine. I installed the prerequisites - C++ runtime, .NET runtime, sql server 2005 express.

When I run the BPM installer everything goes fine until it reaches the database selection point and somehow my SQL server doesn't show up on the dropdown list of SQL machines. I'd hate to have to install an oracle server and manually configure it to get this install working. my SQL server is running and works fine, an odbc connection I created for this works fine too.

Thanks
