I followed the install pre-reqs and got everything installed but get an error when trying to launch the installation process. I get an error that indicates the following error: error in web.config - sql connection I am installing locally on Windows XP, but when I login to my system, I login to a domain. Will this have an affect on the setup/install for SQL 2005 Server Express because I believe that is where my problem could be? Any help would be appreciated, it's getting frustrating.

That shouldn't be an issue. Can you post the full details of the error?

I deleted SQL2005 Express edition and now after re-installing I can't get it setup properly to even login. I'm getting the error below: This error may have occurred because the default settings for SQL server don't allow for remote connections. No connection could be made because the target maching actively refused it.

In the surface area configuration option for SQL server you need to allow remote connections.
