The easiest way to configure in a well protected environment such as a multi-firewalled developer workstation is as follows:

1. Install and patch Microsoft Windows, IIS, ASP.NET, SQL Server Express Edition and Visual Studio .NET 2005.
    
2. Create a new file system such as C:\InetPub\ProjectName by running the setup executable or extracting the .zip distributive; alternately stop IIS, archive and restore the file system and databases using a new file system and/or database connection information (Sitecore instances only share databases in specific circumstances).
    
3. Place the appropriate license.xml file in the Data folder.
    
4. Grant the ASP.NET and IUSR_* users full control of C:\InetPub\ProjectName.
    
5. Restore the databases for SQL Server 2000  (optional).
    
6. Update web.config and any supporting configuration files if required. Most of the configuration updates are connected with the data storage configuation. Refer to the Microsoft SQL Server Configuration section for more information.
    
7. IIS: set the home directory of the default web to the new document root.
