Can't get SQL Server 2012 RTM LocalDB working on Server 2008/x86/ SQL Server 2008 machine
From what I could see, it appears that Microsoft doesn't support LocalDb out of the box in Windows Server 2008. I just got the Web Platform Installer and tried searching for localdb and no entries were found. I went to the download site and grabbed only the LocalDb.msi installer and installed it in Win Server 2008. Created a default instance:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Tools\Binn&gt;sqllocaldb.exe c "v11.0" -s


Then tried to connect to it in my ASP.NET MVC 4 app but it didn't work. This works in Windows 8 RC.

I simply decided to go with SQL Express 2008 since this one the Web Platform Installer found!
