setting up sqlexpress

My OS is WinXP home edition. I just want to run the sql server on my computer. Should I have the sql service accounts run as "local system" or "local service".
Also, should I install sql express prior to vb.net express.

Thanks for your help

Ken

    Hi Ken,



    Unless you have a specific scenario for changing the default service account, I would suggest you stick with the default. Also, VB.NET Express will actually install SQL Express for you, if you are planning on installing VB.NET Express, you should probably do that first and just let SQL Express get installed as part of that.
