An update is available for InstallAware which installs the newly released Service Pack 1 version of Microsoft SQL Server Express 2005.
Please download the update here:
http://www.installaware.com/express.exe
After downloading, run the self extracting archive to obtain the file express.7zip. Copy this file to your InstallAware folder, overwriting the old copy. A path for a typical installation would be:
C:\\Program Files\\InstallAware\\InstallAware Studio Admin 5\\Plug-Ins\\MS SQL Express
You may now rebuild your installers, and they will install the SP1 version of SQL 2005.
Please note: You must have InstallAware, together with the MS SQL Express runtime, already installed before applying this update. This update may be used with both trial and licensed versions of InstallAware.

SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services
Great news, I have an immediate need for this plug-in. Any chance that you could provide one for SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services?

I think you can just add the advanced features you want by running their MSIs - is this not the case?
If it is the case:
1) Add the MSIs to your setup script using the File Bag plug-in
2) Execute them using the (Un)Install MSI Setup command
And you'll be good to go! You could even extend the Application Runtimes view with the advanced features once you make a script for it.

I think there is only one MSI File for the Management Program, other featuers (e.g. the reporting services) are exe files.
But how must I change my Script, that the MSI file is downloaded as a Web medi block?
It would be much easier if you would provide the QL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services as a Application Runtime.
Thanks!

Very easy! Add the files you want to your project using the File Bag plug-in (included with the latest versions of InstallAware). Then run them using Run Program/Run Program As/(Un)Install MSI Setup commands. This way you'll benefit from web media blocks and also have the ability to install exactly what you need.
