building TVServer with VS express c#

Is it possible? Has anybody managed it?

C# Express lacks the Microsoft installer engine. That one is needed to get the service installed and is part of the project. So it's not possible to build it with C# Express. (Build is possible but you can't get an installer to register the service, etc.)

Ok, was just wondering. Will get out the VS 2005.

I'm a developer with quite a few years experience, but not much experience with C# and Visual Studio. C# is not too difficult, as is the .NET framework, but just getting my head around the way the ide works is taking a little while. But I have managed to get Media Portla compiling, created a plugin, and more importantly added it to the Media Portal solution (at least on my machine) and PostBuild.Bat, that allows me to debug. so I'm getting there!!
