I have downloaded the latest umbraco version and have it running on my local machine in my visual studio 2010.
When running the setup wizard i need to connect to a database. I have a local "SQL Server 2008 R2" installed on my machine, but how will i connect with it in the database configuration step?
by default its set to:
server: .\SQLEXPRESS
database name: DATABASE
Do i need to create a user in my local database? The log on to my database is: Built-in account: Network Service
The installer does assume you are using DB authentication, rather than windows, so you'll probably need to setup a database user with permissions, or just use the sa login.
Once it's installed though, you should be able to update the connection string in web.config, but yea, you will need a db user to install.
Matt said it all. But if you don't want to "struggle" with all of the creating user/batadase etc. maybe you could install Umbraco with the new SQL CE database instead. This is an embedded database, and you then don't have to think about all the user, password, server name etc.

But of course it's up to you :)
