Also the default connection for the Database says it could not connect for a new install. Which is not typical. When attempting to attach, since I have been scratching my head on how to even connect, it gives an error that the "one or more files must be selected". I suspect the logical name is different from the file name of the mdf file since in the attach screen the "name" of it is "Database2.mdf", not "Database.mdf" as in the file explorer name. But then it seems to want a ldf file...so it does not work.
