When trying to run the following command in VS Command window:

aspnet_regsql.exe -E -S .\SqlExpress -d aspnetdb -ed

from page 63 of Chapter 3, I get the following error:

Command "aspnet regsql.exe" is not valid.
Am I doing something wrong or is there a step that I have missed.
FYI: I have recently install VS 2005 along with SQLExpress.

maybe you had a VS 2003 command shell by mistake?

The program should be in your path if you're in a VS 2005 shell:

c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspn et_regsql.EXE

Thanks for your reply. However, I currently don't have my laptop here at work so I will have to check on this matter once I get home. I will be back online after 6pm to inform you of my progress.

I finally got it resolved. Not sure what happened with my 2005 install but I got it from our company network and there was no exe file with that name in the path. I have reinstalled everything and now it works fine. Thanks.
