The above dialog shows the path if SQL Server Express is installed on your PC.

However, if SQL Server is already installed but it is not the Express Edition the database server needs to be just the PC's name.

You can confirm the name of your Database Server by launching your SQL Server. The name will appear on the main page once launched.
