I am running Visual Studio 2010 and SQL Server Express 2012. When trying to click on an .mdf file I get:

Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed.

My connection string is

Data Source=(LocalDB)\v11.0;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\Movies.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=False

Any help would be appreciated!

Is the MDF already in use by another instance? – RBarryYoung Oct 25 '16 at 13:37
