With which tool do you want to admister SQL Server Express ? SQL-DMo sounds like you are using VS2003 or another program to gain access to that.

Whats the actual error message ?

What do you mean by "in Microsoft SQL Servers\...", where are you looking? Can you provide the exact error message if one is there? Check the version of SQLDMO.dll, which is located at C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn (if your program files is on the c:\ drive)

SQLDMO.dll version = 8.05.1054

error message:
cant built connection with SQL Server
Cause:[SQL-DMO]
plz check if the SQL Server is running, and check SQL Server register attribute, then re-try

This version of DMO can't connect SQL Server 2005, including SQL Server Express. The Express install (I am thinking), does not update SQL-DMO. You can obtain the latest version of SQL-DMO, which is compatible with SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005 at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=d09c1d60-a13c-4479-9b91-9e8b9d835cdc&DisplayLang=en. Look for the "Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Backward Compatibility Components " download.

Please let me know if this does not resolve your issue.

Now I am able to repro the problem that you are seeing. This MMC snap-in must be detecting a new SQL Server instance is installed, but this MMC snap-in is the old SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Manager, which is blocked from connecting to SQL Server 2005 (any edition). The error that I am seeing is very clear on this blocking, I am not sure if you are seeing the same error. To connect to a SQL Server 2005 instance, you should use an edition of Management Studio.

so u will report this problem as a bug?
i think u should also know that i am using a chinese xp+sp2, with sql2000 installed

The only bug here is that the MMC snap-in is registering an unsupported SQL Server version. As this shipped with SQL Server 2000, it is very unlikely that anything more will be done than to write a knowledge based article. Unless more customers encounter this issue, we problably would not even write an article as the error message clearly says this is not supported.

What order did you install SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server 2000? Installing SQL Server 2000 after installer SQL Server 2005 is not supported.

This will never work. You need to use Management Studio (full or Express) to connect to SQL Server 2005. We have a bug file on our side to determine why the server is being registered. If we fix the server registration problem, you still will not be able to connect to SQL Server 2005 through this means.
