I have a problem installing sp 1 for sql 2005 express. How can I check if I have sql server or the sql 2005 express edtion and if it is a beta or not. I want ot install the SP1 OF SQL 2005 When I go to the add/remove program section I see sql 2005 edition and not sql 2005 express edition, very confusing because it indicates to look for sql 2005 express edition in the add/remove program and remove it. I don't even know if I have a beta release or not at this point anymore. Is sql 2005 express packaged with VWD 2005 express edition.

Hi DKB,
In Add/Remove Programs, all SQL maintenance is exposed under the single entry "Microsoft SQL Server 2005." You can determine exactly what you have installed by clicking either Change or Remove for this entry and then clicking the Report button on the screen that opens. The Report will document all the different components and versions that you have installed listed by Instance Name. In the report you will find the following information.
Edition - For Express, this will read "Express Edtion"
Version - For RTM this will read 1399.06, for SP1 it will read 2047.00. If it says anything else, it is not a final release.
SQL Express RTM is included with VWD 2005 Express and you would have had the option of installing it.
