I see - Correct me if I am wrong - that the redistributable is SP1.
Can I replace the present SQLEXPR.EXE with the SQLEXPR32.EXE from
http://www.microsoft.com/Sqlserver/2...-down.aspx#SP3
Should it be renamed?

As far as I know, it is SP3.
I checked this and unpacked the SQLEXPR.EXE package -- the license agreement
says "MICROSOFT SQL SERVER 2005 EXPRESS EDITION SERVICE PACK 3"
The SetupBuilder "runtime" include script (7.0.2680) says:
! // Description: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Service Pack 3
(9.00.4035)
"SQLEXPR32.EXE is a smaller package that can be used to install SQL Server
Express on 32-bit operating systems only. The larger SQLEXPR.EXE package
supports installing onto both 32-bit and 64-bit (WOW install) operating
systems. There is no other difference between these packages."
I think it should be possible to use the 32-bit only SQLEXPR32.EXE. Just
rename all SQLEXPR.EXE instances with SQLEXPR32.EXE in the include script.
