You need to download the correct JDBC driver from here http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=11774

If that link doesn't work, search the web for "mssql jdbc driver"

Once you get the specific driver
The Microsoft JDBC Driver 4.2 for SQL Server is JDBC 4.2 compliant and runs on the Java Development Kit (JDK) version 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, and 8.0.
The Microsoft JDBC Driver 4.1 for SQL Server is JDBC 4.0 compliant and runs on the Java Development Kit (JDK) version 5.0, 6.0, and 7.0.
The Microsoft JDBC Driver 4.0 for SQL Server is JDBC 4.0 compliant and runs on the Java Development Kit (JDK) version 5.0 or 6.0.

Then put it into ..\Splunk\etc\apps\splunk_app_db_connect\bin\lib

Restart Splunk and it should be good to go.

As the documentation below indicates, you also need to install an appropriate driver before any connection will work:

this is really no help. I've tried to find an answer on forums as well with no help

Did you follow the documentation start to finish? There are several prerequisites AND you have not shared what you have done. The better question you ask, the better answers you get.
