  I tried to find an appropriate forum to post the question. This one seems to be the closest. I'm sorry if I'm wrong.

  This is a long story, which I haven't time to go into now. I'm starting a new Blazor Web app using .NET 9 and include what's called Individual Accounts (or Individual Users, I can't remember which off the top of my head). That is a project template in Visual Studio. In this case it is Visual Studio 2022. Anyway, because it is a project template, it generates all of the SQL code to create a SQL Server LocalDB. As you probably know, this is a lightweight version of SQL Server. I expected it to do everything for me, however I'm wrong. This is the case where all the tutorials I've looked at, and I've looked at a lot of them, all assume that you know how to get whatever needs to be gone, in place. So, they don't bother to fill in the first steps. Anyway, I'm getting an error whenever I try to run the app. Here's the error:

  

  Unfortunately, I'm having a lot of problems just getting SSMS to work and Azure Data Studio to work, with anything at the office. My work machine is having A LOT OF PROBLEMS, and my desktop support aren't helpful. They've told me to uninstall SSMS and Azure Data Studio; so how am I supposed to do my job??????? Well, they just stare at me, and that's the end of it.

  So, anyway, can someone please help me with this?

  did you install SQLExpress to host your localdb ?

  ( Maybe even during your VS2022 install )
