SQL Express Manager 2005 and Windows XP x64

Has anyone successfully installed the SQL Express Manager on XP x64 Pro   I know it isn't listed as one of the required operating systems in the readme, but below that it states that for installation on x64 you need the 64 bit .Net Framework 2.0, which I have installed with no problems.  I receive the following error when I attempt to install, almost immediately.

This computer must have at least Windows 2000 SP4 and the user must have administrator privileges in order to continue.  Slso, you must first install the SMO Components and the .NET Framework version 2.0.

Regards,
Wade

    You didn't list that you installed SMO. Since there isn't yet a standalone install of SMO available you should grab one of the other SQL2K5 Editions (32-bit) and install Client Components. This will install SMO. You will then be able to install Express Manager.
