Analysis Services Step by Step - connection problem

On page 56 of SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services Step by Step, I tried to DEPLOY the project, and it failed with this msg:

Error 1 The project could not be deployed to the 'localhost' server because of the following connectivity problems : A connection cannot be made. Ensure that the server is running. To verify or update the name of the target server, right-click on the project in Solution Explorer, select Project Properties, click on the Deployment tab, and then enter the name of the server.

I downloaded the trial version from MS and installed in om my laptop from where im running my tutorial - what could be wrong? (Im a newbie to SQL so I have no clue)

You need to make sure Analysis Server is running on your machine. Go into Service control manger and make sure SQL Server Analysis Services service is running.

I have the following services running:

SQL Server, SQL Server Agent, SQL Server Browser, SQL Server FullText Search, SQL Server Integration Services and SQL Server VSS Writer - I can't see any Analysis related services on my services list?

It is working now - thanks alot for your help.

I reinstalled my solution and for some reason I didnt have the Analasis services correctly installed.
