title: Minimum requirements to use AspNetSqlMembershipProvider
body: <p>I'm using an AspNetSqlMembershipProvider for my application.</p>
  
  <p>On my development machine I recently deinstalled SQL Server 2005 Express and Management Studio Express so that I could install the full version of Management Studio. I chose not to install SQL Server 2005 because, well, I don't want to have unnecessary things running on my machine.</p>
  
  <p>Now whenever my code attempts to do anything that relates to authentication I get an error of:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to >SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance >name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: >SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>So, what is the minimum amount of SQL Server I have to install in order for this to work?</p>
