NPM and SQL 2005 Express

Hi all,

I must install a new demo version of NPM and probably install a valid version in a few week.

I was wondering what is the best solution for the database, i will install SQL Express 2005 but i'm not sure how do this:

- should i install the one with NPM installation i mean the Express Install ? but how configurable is it?

- or should i install SQL Express from Microsoft and in this case i don't remember if there is tutorial to answer the common configuration screen (like is it better to keep windows autentication or sa user ?)

Regards

OK, I just seen the document NPM Evaluation Guide that answer to my questions about the tutorial of SQL installation.

But just to be sure between the choice of Express install and manual install of the DB what is the best and the proper way to do it ?
