Refactor won't install

I tried to install Refactor! for Visual Basic 2005 Beta 2:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/vbasic/downloads/2005/tools/refactor/

But I get an error during setup saying that it could not find Visual Studio 2005. Does Refactor support the Express products?

Hi, yes this is one of the known limitations of the Express editions of Visual Studio.
Unfortunately Refactor! can not integrate with your version of Visual Studio because the Express editions do not support add-ons, and simply do not implement the VSIP inteface that we use to integrate into Visual Studio.

This is a shame because we would love to support these editions. Sorry.

G'day Richard,

As the (very attractive) refactoring software is offered for download on a page linked from VB Express News, and as the tutorial appears to be a vb function, might I respectfully request that this known limitation please be placed on the download page.
