WES Installation - DB cannot be used

[K]

I get the noted installation error message:
Specified SQL Server cannot be used for Windows Embedded Standard
database.

SQL Server: (local)

The selected SQL Server is not supported. To continue, please select a
supported SQL Server. See the Installation Guide for a list of
supported SQL Servers.


However, for the fix "Uninstall MS SQL 2000 and Microsoft database
engines, and install MS SQL 2005 or higher versions of database
engine." -- I had already upgraded the SQL Server installation
(local) to SQL Server 8.0.760 (express).

Does anyone have a resolution or suggested workaround?
I was trying to install WES without doing something drastic, like a
nuke and re-install.

Have you tried SQL Express 2005?
