Problem installing SW2018 - Solidworks Electrical unable to connect to SQL Server

Hello,

I am receiving the follow error when attempting to install SW 2018 on my home computer (Windows 7):

SOLIDWORKS Electrical is unable to connect to the SQL Server.

Possible reasons for this failure:

- Incorrect username or password

- Incorrect server name

- Server is unavailable

Please Check the SQL server settings under the SOLIDWORKS Electrical options.

The installation does not proceed past this point.

Anybody else having the same problem?

Thank you!
