SQL Server 2008 R2 Setup Error - is not a valid login or you do not have permission

This time i had face another one issue. When I was trying to install SQL 2008 R2 enterprise edition on my laptop i got below error.

is not a valid login or you do not have permission | MS SQL Server 2008 Express


A couple of days ago I bought a virtual server from Godaddy and the first application than I have to install was MS SQL Server 2008 R2 Express. But something was wrong, every time I tried to install SQL Server 2008 express I had the same error message is not a valid login or you do not have permission.?





TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Setup
------------------------------
The following error has occurred:
'' is not a valid login or you do not have permission.
------------------------------
This error message was meaningful, because I installed it using my account with has administrator access.
I tried to remove and reinstall SQL Server, I tried different versions of SQL Server, but nothing helped.
But finally I found a solution how to avoid this error message is not a valid login or you do not have permission
By default godaddy virtual server has the same name as user account and this was the reason of error message.
I renamed my server and error disappeared and I was able to install SQL Server Express without errors.

How to hide url parameters in asp.net

There are different ways to Hide the URL in asp.net , you can choose any one from bellow options . Previously I was Explained about the  Difference between Convert.tostring and .tostring() method Example  ,   Reasons to use Twitter Bootstrap , How to Register AJAX toolkit in web.config file in asp.net a) Using Post Method b) Using Of Session . c) URL Encoding & decoding process . d) Using Server.Transfer() instead of Response.Redirect() method (1)Use a form and POST the information. This might require additional code in source pages, but should not require logic changes in the target pages (merely change Request.QueryString to Request.Form).

This is likely a more substantial effort compared to (1), because you will need to take session variable checking into account...
