Connection to Default Instance of SQL Server 2016 LocalDB
<p>Need help getting SQL Server 2016 LocalDB to accept connections using default instance name "(localdb)\MSSQLLocalDB". I can get a connection using "(localdb)\.". OS is MS Windows 10 Pro 64 Bit. Have Visual Studio 2015 Express Update 3, SQL Server 2016 Local DB (also 2014), SQL Server Data Tools (latest update), and SQL Server 2012 Native Client installed. MSSQLLocalDB instance is created and will start using sqllocaldb.exe. Have same setup on a Windows 7 machine and it works fine. Have searched the web for a solution to this, but did not find any that applies to my case. Thanks.</p>
