VS2008 not working with SQL Server 2008 Express ???

Question

Hi,

I've both VS2008 and SQL Server 2008 Express installed in my computer. When I try create a new DB or attach an existing one, I get the following error message:"This version of server is not supported - Only versions up to 2005 are supported."

From that, I'd like to know:

• Is it possible that VS2008 with SP1 be not able to support SQL Server 2008 Express?
• In case that's possible what can i do? Is it possible to update or should I install an other version?

Thank you

This is a known issue you need service pack 1:
