Install issues

I recently installed Visual Studio .NET 2003 on my
computer which is running Windows XP Home Edition.  After
the installation I have two additional users on my
computer.  Both of the accounts are limited accounts that
are password protected.  One of the accounts is called
SQLDebugger, and the other is called ASP.NET Machine A. I
don't know what either of these accounts are for.

Another problem.  I tried to install MSDE 2000.  The
documentation that was installed on my computer
instructed me to use the following line to install:

Setup.exe /qb+ INSTANCENAME=NetSDK
DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=1 SAPWD=<YOUR SA PASSWORD>

The installation completed successfully, but I was not
able to ever get the database engine to start.  I believe
the error message stated that NetSDK could not be
located.  I don't know why, but for some reason this
installation process has got me frustrated and
intimidated.  I would really like to have everything set
up properly so that I can follow the tutorials and use
all of the tools.  Consequently, I have two questions:

Can someone please advise me about the two user accounts?
Can someone please provide me with simple instructions
that will install MSDE so that I can use it?

Thank you in advance.

Suppose you host an ASP.Net application on your machine.
When someone acces your webpage, it will be assumed certain role.
ASPNet is the role assumed.

By creating this account, (which has very limited privilage), it protects
your machine.
Because even if other people compromised your web application, they still
cannot do much harm on your machine due to the lower privilege given to
this account.
(BTW, many service account are created for similar purpose. In case the
service is compromised, they won' be able to do much harm)

I don't think VS 2003 can work with MSDE.
