title: SQL Server 2008 "issues"
body: <p>There is <em>something</em> wrong with my installation of SQL Server that I can't put my finger on, which is why the vague title of this post.</p>
  
  <p>As an example, I was trying to open an MDF file that is part of an example solution from MSDN for DataGrid templates, and got the following error.</p>

  <p>The info about my install from SQL Server Management Studio is below.</p>
  
  <p>Can someone help me solve the problem I'm having opening the MDF file? Is this a symptom of my install in general, as I suspect? If so, can you suggest how to resolve the install?</p>
  
  <p>Cheers,<br>
