    Simple Win 2k08, x64,  farm:   1 WFE server + 1 sql 2008 backend

    I installed SSE2008 on the WFE. (This apparently install wss3 as well).  Do I also need to install the WSS3 Service Pack 2 or is that included in the SSE2008 install?

    TIA,

    BTW: After installing wss3, sp2, on my SSE2008 box (just now), everything appeared OK but when I tried to acess any wss3 site I get the error
    "Server error":  http:/go.microsoft.com/fwlink?linkid=96177" which pertains to how to patch wss3. Maybe I'm not supposed to apply wss3 sp2 to Search Server Express 2008! I'll retry the install and see if the same error occurs again.

    Yes, per Microsoft. They claimed that Search Server 2008 Express comes with wss 3.0, sp1, not sp2.
