SQL Setup using well-known SID instead of account name

[jordabi]

I have issues installing SQL 2005 Express using an ini file on some
non-English Windows installations. I receive a 28075 error when trying to
use the "NT Authority\System" account since on certain localized Windows
versions that gets renamed.

So, is thre a best practice for handling this or can I use a well-known SID
in place of the account name.

The recommendation is usually to use a domain account rather one of
these built-ins. Not only because of the localisation issue, but there
are other problems as well when you use LocalSystem and the like.
