XP SP2 is a pre-requisite for the install of all VS Express products. You will have to upgrade to SP2 to install VS Express.

Start setup.exe with the flag to not do any pre-requisite checks.
setup.exe /NO_BSLN_CHECK
There is an article on it here

Did this not work for me. It got pass the SP2 check, but failed during the install with a 1723 DLL required error. Tried it twice.

I guess I have to get SP2.....
