title: SQL Server 2014 Setup Not Given the Option to Add Current User
body: <p>I am installing SQL Server 2014 Express edition. However, after several install attempts, my Windows authenticated account does not have permissions to do anything within the database server, not even <code>CREATE DATABASE</code>.</p>
  
  <p>During the installation, I am not given the option to assign a role to my Windows authenticated account. Below is a screenshot of the installer window, and it shows that many of the steps in the installer are "skipped", as they do not allow me to interact with them:</p>

  <p>That being said, is there a way to force the Express installer to show me the "Add Current User" screen that the Developer and Enterprise installers have? If not, then what can I do to add myself as a user to the database?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you for your time.</p>
