  I'm gettting an installation error:

  "installation failed because it is not supported by the operating system"

  Guessing I can't install SQL 2005 Express on a Windows 2008 Server?

  It can be annoying, try downloading the SQL Server 2005 Express Edition that includes the “Advanced Services” and simply don’t install them.
