I am not aware that 7.3 is compatable with SQL 2008 express.

I believe you can use SQL Server 2005.

Hi,

After installing SQL Server 2005 developer edition -now contributor administration-has worked.

Thanks for help.

Note:

when trying to connect to a SQL Server "Express Edition" is necessary to put the instance name of the database, which in case is SQLEXPRESS. In other versions, Standard and Developer this is not necessary.
Then the connection is SERVERNAME\SQLEXPRESS
