Cannot find MSDN Express Library and SQL Server Express in Add/remove programs component section

Hi,

I downloaded Visual Web Developer Express on my pc.  I did not download the express library  or SQL server express because I already have studio.net on my pc, web matrix (and the server it uses) and IIS.  I didn't think I needed sql server express, plus I thought I'd be able to download it through "Add/Remove programs" and adding the optional component according to the "Readme" file.  SQL Server Express and MSDN Library Express are not in the components section in my Add/Remove programs list.  Do I need to uninstall VWD and reinstall it in order to get these components   I've already registered the product as well.

    Hi,

    If you didn't download SQL Server Express and MSDN Express Library, they won't show up in add/remove programs. You will need to go back and download these separately; it shouldn't be necessary to uninstall VWD.

    I think that if you install from a CD rather than downloading then the additional programs may show up in Add/Remove Programs, but I don't have a CD to confirm this.

    Hope this helps,
    the V-Bee
