Which version of SQL 2005?

I looked in the team foundation installation guide and it doesn't appear to explicitly state which version of SQL you should install

Should I download and install the Developer Edition or Express

    Could I just use the Express Edition of SQL Server 2005

    Why an Express Edition is included in the DVD

    Thanks!

    CTP - Community Technology Preview.

    Beta 2 is not the same as the April CTP - it's quite a lot older.  Think of the April CTP as Beta 3 (even though it's not labelled as such and probably wasn't tested as much as a full beta release would have been).

    The Developer Edition is required for Team Foundation Server.

    I successfully installed using the one labelled: SQL Server 2005 CTP - April 2005 - Developer Edition (English).

    The express edition of Sql Server 2005 is similar to the MSDE version of previous sql server products.  It contains basic items for running Sql Server.  It does not contain Analysis Services and Report server, both of which is needed for Visual Studio Team Foundation Server.

    The Express edition is available for local database development and evaluation

    I am having issues installing Team Foundation Server (to many to list) but it seems to be related to the version of SQL Server I have.  I downloaded SQL Server 2005 from MSDN labeled SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition Beta 2 (English).  Is that the same as the CTP - April 2005 - Developer Edition (English)   Stupid question but whats CPT
