sql error on install

hey folks

i am getting the following error while trying to install the system:

An error occured: Line 9: Incorrect syntax near '('.
Running scripts from file: D:\hshome\user\domain.com\install\Scripts\nopCommerce_createDatabase.sql

any ideas what it could be?

thanks!

What are you using to run the script? You are probably just running the script using the nopCommerce install page right?  You can run the scripts manually.

The best way I have found to run sql scripts is the use the sql command prompt.

yes, am running it via the online installer in the "install" directory

if i run the sql create scripts via MS SQL Studio Manager - will it not make the installer get stuck when i try continue running it?

thanks again

UPDATE:

i get the same and many more errors when trying to run the script via MSSSM.

any ideas?
