MS Business Scorecard Accelerator

While installing the MS Business Scorecard Accelerator, I found the following as the pre-reqs:
-- Windows 2003 Server - I have Enterprise version
-- MS SQL Server 2000
-- MS SQL Server 2000 SP3a
-- MS Sharepoint Services
-- MS Analysis Services

After installing MS Sharepoint Services, double check that your website is running as expected. This may become problematic if you already have a website configured for some other application (which happened to me). So I would recommend to do the following:
1. Create a brand new website in a separate directory of your choice.
2. Make that website running on port 80 - Sharepoint services will pick up the site on port 80, you will not have a choice here
3. Test the website with a HelloWorld.asp

So far, it appears, I can play with Windows user account only. My next attempt would be to find out if it works with SQL Sever user accounts.
