If you mean "to support my standalone system" then I wouldn't use Sql Server Express - I would use SQLCE or SQLite instead - they are designed for single user access, which SQL server Express is not. As a result they are much easier to install (SQLCE need no installation beyond that to run your .NET application) and a whole lot easier to manage. In addition, they do not use anywhere near the resources SQL server does.

Solution 2

what OriginalGriff is right
but even then you want to install sql 2008 express
1. you can install just you will have to create a separate instance
2. if there are 2 separate instance there will not be in conflict
