I installed VS2010 Ultimate while ago whithout installing SQL Server Express. I also installed SP1 and Lightswitch over it.

Now I changed my mind. I tried add/remove features but now that option is not available any more. What can I do about it?

You can't just install SQL Express off of Microsoft's website?? – surfasb Jun 27 '12 at 1:39
I'm not sure which version comes shipped with VS2010 – djechelon Jun 27 '12 at 10:41
@djechelon, I'm quite sure that it is the 2008 one... – kokbira Aug 7 '12 at 22:07
