Hi AngryBadger,
I had a look back at the installation guide, and it shows how to add a user to both MySQL and MSSQL Express.
With older installations of TV Server, the instructions contained a link to SQL Server Management Studio Express and advised people to download this application.
I am not sure if that is the case with RC1 as I have only installed it over my original TV server installation, and not on a clean machine.
In order to add users etc in MSSQL Express, you will need the SQL Server Management Studio Express.
If you dont have it you can download it here:
Download details: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express
This should enable you to add a user as shown in the installation instructions...
Once that is done, use the "Test Login" button in the Web Interface Manager program ("Database" page) to check the details.
If you are still having problems, let me know what error you are getting with the "Test Login" button.
