| Better idea would be to check whether sql server is running on the machine which will cover both the situations. If sql server is installed and there are multiple instances, on which instance you want to create the db? What if the the particlular sql service is not up? There are lot of samples available all over the web to check whether sql server is running or not. Please Google. |
