Yea we were on this today on #opensl

It appears that the express editions do not register themselves the same
way as the Standard or better editions.

Its the DTE's you are looking for

For express there is reference to VCExpress.DTE which links to
VCExpress.DTE.9.0 (on my system) but the CLSID this then contains is not
a registered com objectm if i look at my Standard installed VC 2003 .NET
i have a VisualStudio.DTE.7.1 and the com objects are registered
correctly. (And VSTool.exe works perfectly on my 2003.NET (standard
edition) but not on my 2008 Express.

I think its a limitation of express versions
