    XP SP2 is a pre-requisite for the install of all VS Express products. You will have to upgrade to SP2 to install VS Express.

    Start setup.exe with the flag to not do any pre-requisite checks.

    setup.exe /NO_BSLN_CHECK

    There is an article on it here

    Did this not work for me.  It got pass the SP2 check, but failed during the install with a 1723 DLL required error.   Tried it twice.

    I guess I have to get SP2.....
