Installing SQL Server Express edition

When I try to Install SQL Server expres edition I keep on getting this error: http://www.fambouman.com/SQLError.JPG

I'am running Windows SBS 2003 fully updated via windows update.. When I go to the URL mentioned in the error I get an error and the browser redirects to microsoft search.

Anybody know how I can setup SQL Expres ? I need it for dotnetnuke to run.

Thanks in advance

Sorry I can not read the error, could you post it in english.

Sorry for the 'Dutch' error.. I thought mayb somebody could do something with it and I didn't really now how to 'generate' a english error.

But now I tried installing the 'english' version of SQL Server Expres and it gives the same error in english so here it is: http://www.fambouman.com/SQLError_english.JPG

Thanks in advance for helping me out.

Hello Antonie,

it seems that your windows version does not match the requirements for sql server express.

To find out what windows version you have:

(Sorry, i'm from germany, i have the german version of windows,
and i don't know the english terms. I mentioned this here:

I think it would be better when all developpers use the english original versions.
Then all developpers would use the same terms! On Condition that the well understandable
subset of english is used in the developper tools that microsoft uses today.)

To find out what windows version you have:
task manager / systemcontrol (try to translate...) / system /systemproperties.
