SharePoint Foundation Search V4 Disabled after install 

I just tried to get a flawless installation done with the release version of SharePoint Foundation (SPF10), but using the built-in SQL Server I was getting too many errors in the Event Log. I then tried the recently released SQL Express 2008 R2 and had much more luck using that.
 
After the install and the Wizard had finished I checked the services and was astonished to see that both the SharePoint User Code Host and the SharePoint Foundation Search V4 were Disabled. When I then tried to start the Search service I got the occasional odd error (...cannot be started with Error 6, Handle is invalid). Well, I finally got it started switching the service from the pre-configured "Local Service" account to "Local System". Go figure!

Thanks, that did it for me, too. Still, it doesn't bode well.

Hi Ramakrishnan, the good news is that after this it all behaved fine (for me). What also contributed to this initial unpleasant feeling is the huge change around Service Applications. While the SSP in SP 2007 was simply awkward, the new Service Application architecture is quite sophisticated and absolutely worth the effort to learn about in-depth. Andrew Connell has a sample service application for download, but I recommend the step by step articles Wouter van Vugt recently published: http://blogs.code-counsel.net/Wouter/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=149
