  Sam,

  Ranjit, are you trying to run the Express SP1 refresh package or the full SP1 installer

  Thanks,

  Ah, OK. That should be the issue. If you go to the SP1 page at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx FamilyID=cb6c71ea-d649-47ff-9176-e7cac58fd4bc&DisplayLang=en

  It has a link midway down the page for the Express upgrades. Here's a snippet...
