I'm trying to install SQL Server Express 2008 but when I get to Server Configuration I encounter this problem:
"[Details]
Microsoft.SqlServer.Configuration.SqlEngine.ValidationException: The specified credentials for the SQL Server service are not valid. To continue, provide a valid account and password for the SQL Server service."
I have tried using a strong password, but it doesn't help. Or is it the account name that's creating the problem? Can't I choose an assount name?

Thankful for any help!

I got past the problem by following a tip I found here:

Of course I encountered another problem in the next step, I'll probably be back later...
