Is there anyone out there that can give a step by step guide on how to deploy the SharewareService to a webserver?
The docs are very helpful, but im fumbling around trying to get the thing to work properly.
Also, how do we remove activation and stuff?
I am a VB.NET developer, and don't have a heck of alot of experience with SQL or WebServices. (Willing to learn tho)

Did you take a look at page 13 in the included file SSK Developer Documentation.doc ? It gives a decent walkthrough of what you must do.
Of course, it isn’t quite enough (for me at least) as I keep getting the ever so friendly error
An error occurred while entering user data into the database. Error: Unable to open the physical file "D:\<removed path info>\ssk.mdf". Operating system error 5: "5(Access is denied.)".
An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file D:\<removed path info>\ssk.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.And later, the far more telling:

Yep I get the same error. I have tried making sure the DB wasnt open in the server explorer in VS2005, and also moved it to the root of my drive. (e:\SSK.mdf)
I am sure its a simple problem, but the solution still seems to escape me. -
In the past I have seen problems with SQL Express not attaching a database after it’s been moved, renamed, or just opened after closing a solution.
In the past deleting the database reference from SQL Express and then allowing the ASP .NET Dev process to automatically reattach has helped.
- If you do not have SQL Express manager installed install it from here: http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/express/sql/default.aspx
- Log onto server .\sqlexpress and delete the SSK.mdf databases that should be attached.
- The next time you run the web service it should automatically reattach.
*Note: Don’t delete the database from disk, only delete the reference form SQL Express Manager.
If this doesn’t help, check the following things:
- Make sure that the database is not in source control or marked as read only.
- Ensure that the current logged in user has full access permissions to the database in question.
