Failed to create the SQL database Source="SSO"

Recently I tried to configure BizTalk 2010 on which Visual Studio 2010 was already installed.
I could not configure SSO and got the following error message in the log file.

Failed to create the SQL database Source="SSO" HelpID=""><Exception Message="(0xC0002A21) An error occurred while attempting to access the SSO database.

It also said to check the eventlog for more details but there was no error in Eventlog.

Finally I traced the issue that it was because of  the  missing folders on the SQL Server machine so SQL Server could not create the databases and log files.
I found it out by using SQL Profiler and activating all types of Events.
















I knew of many SSO Errors so tried everything like registering SSOSQL.dll and other fixes but never imagined it could be because of SQL not been configured properly.
