sql server 2014 local db

  • im working on an existing project that uses sql server 2014 local db. Ive installed it (there was no option to set an instance id). using sql server 20014 management studio and setting the server name to (localdb) results in this error

    network related or instance specific error occurred while establishing a connection to sql server.......

    so obviously its not there, how can i test this ? theres no service I can see. The installation procedure completed without any errors, what could be going on here ?

  • ok, there are some setup scripts as part of the project which I cant change since there are several developers working on this and they all expect the same instance name

    the setup is looking for

    (LocalDB)\Projects

    not something like (LocalDB)v11.0 etc

    so how can i change the instance name for local db ?

    Have you tried setting up a server name alias?
