I am getting the following error when Installing Commerce Server 2002 on Win
dows Server 2003. All prerequisites have been installed and SQL Server is ru
nning in mixed mode on a different machine. I instructed the installation pr
ogram to use Windows Authen
tication. When the install gets to Status: Configuring Administration databa
se. I get the following:

Dialog Title: Error Creating Database

An error ocurred while attempting to access/configure the database "master" 
on SQL Server "my server name". Please verify that:
- This SQL Server does not have an unused "master.mdf" or "master_log.ldf" f
ile in its "Data" directory.
- The SQl Server and SQL Server Agent services are running on the SQL Server
 Computer.
- The SQL Login "" has the ability to create databases (adjust the login's S
erver Role).

Please fix the problem and click Retry to proceed, or press Cancel to abort 
the installation.

We have check all of the above, and everything is good. Note the ID is "". I
t appears to be picking this up from the SQL User name field from a previous
 dialog (we tried putting a value in there and it shows up in the message).

Any help would be appreciated. For now, I will just use SQL Authentication..
.

When using Windows Authentication you will need to give the user you are
logged in as permissions to the SQL Server.
