Setup of SQL Server 2005 Express, SP1 to work with WSUS 3.0

[SQLHacker]

Hi,

I hope I've thouroughly searched for WSUS and SQL Express to have not missed this on a forum. Anyway, I'm using Windows 2003 Server, STD, SP2, and have IIS 6.0 installed, along with .NET 2.0, and have installed SQL Server 2005 Express, with SP1 to be ready to install WSUS 3.0. When I start the WSUS install, it see's the local (Default) instance of SQL Server, but cannot connect to it. The first time I tried, I was logged on as domain admin, which the SQL Server didn't have a login for--I quickly remedied that. But, I then logged in with my account (which already had a SQL Login for this server (btw--both the domain admin acct and my acct were setup in SQL to have the sysadmin server role).

Anyone tried to install WSUS 3.0 using SQL Express?

Nope but can you connect to the instance through SSMS Express either?
