    1. CO@Aaron, with the owner logged in and connected to the DB (so it's running), I am able to connect from the other user (see above). It is sqlcmd 11. The issue is that the shared instance won't start on a connection from any user other than the owner. This is confirmed by Krzysztof above. I would argue that there should probably be a more useful error message in that instance, but it's functioning as designed. If a shared localdb did start on demand for any authorized user, it would suit my goals perfectly. I'm not looking for sympathy, but my users deserve all the support we can offer.

    2. CO@Aaron, I did see your update. I am working in a brand new VM and the first thing I did on it (even before installing Visual Studio) was to install SQL Server 2012, so I don't have an earlier version of sqlcmd. The problem with installing a full instance of Express is that the download (x64) is about 133MB versus 33MB for localdb. Some of my users are on extremely slow connections and they have absolutely no need for all the extra stuff that comes with the full version of Express. If localdb shared instances were truly shared (ie, could be used by other users independently) it'd be perfect.

    3. CO@Krzysztof, in my case, deleting and recreating the instance does not fix the Windows API error.
