Set up the QuickStarts
Because the QuickStarts demonstrate a wide variety of the .NET Framework technologies, some machine configuration is required. The Quickstart Configuration Wizard installs SQL Server Express, imports four sample databases into SQL Server Express, creates several Internet Information Services (IIS) virtual directories, and compiles the SDK Quickstart samples.
In order to complete these operations, you must be logged in using an account with Administrator privileges. For a complete list of tasks accomplished in this step, including manual instructions for configuring the QuickStarts, see the Configuration Details document.
