If you don't need it now, why worry about it?

>I've been forced to use the Express version because I cannot get the Standard Edition of 2005 to install on Vista Ultimate. It used to report an Error 1706 on the Office Web Components, but then I read a tip to remove them first which got me quite a bit further in the install process, indeed it completed and reported success but without any of the chosen components actually appearing on the desktop or on the Programs menu.

>I tried running SP2 before the install and running it afterwards, all to no avail. Express is doing the job for me now, but I'm worried that I'll need SSIS or something else that Express doesn't have and then I'll be stuck. My current plan is to wait until the Katmai CTP is stable... anyone have any other ideas?
