I agree with you that the Express editions can do a lot, I use then frequently, but there is a service installer that the Express versions can not compile in the project that I posted. I did try to open the project in C# Express, and it complained about a missing library. So unfortunately that is one of the few things that is missing from the Express editions. I did not try C# Express 2008 yet. If anyone knows a way around the problem I would be happy to hear it.
