Thanks for the reply! After looking at the verbose log I didn't see where the database was being created so I removed the condition and changed the SQLDatabase to use 'sa' with a password. I'm now receiving errors when the database is being created...

After the installation I logged on using the 'sa' user and manually created the mvdb database without a problem. I have also uploaded the complete verbose log but I don't see anything else that could be the cause of the problem.
