Failed to create Application Services Database for SQL Server

I have sql 2005 express installed with VS2005. I tried to install the service database using Aspnet_regsql.exe but always ended up with the same error:

An error occurred during the execution of the SQL file 'InstallMembership.sql'. The SQL error number is -2 and the SqlException message is: Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.

SQL Server:
Database: [aspnetdb]
SQL file loaded:

Commands failed:

EXEC sp_addrolemember N'aspnet_Membership_BasicAccess', N'aspnet_Membership_FullAccess'
EXEC sp_addrolemember N'aspnet_Membership_ReportingAccess', N'aspnet_Membership_FullAccess'

SQL Exception:

The database aspnetdb was always created with just 4 tables and 3 views.

Please can someone help me on this, thanks very much!

If the database still exists, the script might wait for the last database connection to close to be able to drop the database. Is there any DROp statement in the sql file ?
