title: No services listed when SQL Server Express 2008 R2 Installed on local computer
body: <p>I cannot get my local computer to run SQL Server. I looked in the SQL Server configuration manager and noticed that there are no SQL Server Services listed. That can't be right. I also noticed that There are two Managers listed in the SysWOW64 folder (I'm running Win7): SQLServerManager10.msc and SQLServerManager.msc. Neither show any services at all. When trying to connect via SSMSE, I get the standard:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    A network related or instance specific error occurred while establishing a 
  connection to SQL server...
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I haven't installed a prior version, but did try to uninstall and reinstall using the Web platform installer from Microsoft. Any suggestions?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
