I have the following installed: VS 2008 SP 1 ASP.NET MVC 1.0 SQL Express

I have the following installed:

VS 2008 SP 1
ASP.NET MVC 1.0
SQL Express 2008
SQL Management Studio 2008 (for connecting to SQL2008 Server)

When I right click on the App_Data Directory and click “Add New Item”, if I choose SQL Server Database and name the .MDB file, I get an error:

Connections to SQL Server Files
(*.mdf) require SQL Server Express
2005 to function properly. Please
verify the installation of the
component or download from the URL…

What’s up with that? Any help is appreciated…

Is it x64 Vista? This is a known issue. The workarounds suggest there might be a hotfix (http://support.microsoft.com/hotfix/KBHotfix.aspx?kbnum=957944).
