hi,
sorry not able see images blocked here. first read blog determine whether sql instance installed on computer. http://learningsqlserver.wordpress.com/2011/01/21/what-version-of-sql-server-do-i-have/
if not go link mentioned in first post , download enu\x64\sqlexpr_x64_enu.exe.
now follow second link installation. in step 3. instead of selecting default instance, make sure named instance , instance name sqlexpress.
rest same. if installs should able use localhost\sqlexpress.
