At worst case, download VC express with Service Pack 1...
It's free...

Bob: the data sheet for SQL Server 2008 Express talks about "integrating new
technologies including the ADO.NET Entity Framework". However I can't find
out how to use the EF within any of the tools, and whether you launch it via
SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio, SQL Server Management
Studio or Visual C# Express.

Any ideas?

Thanks

OK, I've figured out how to do it. Add New Item to project and choose ADO.NET
Data Model.
