This may sound silly, but did you downloaded the Search server 2008 Express?

Answer 2

You say WSS Service Pack 2 but which version of WSS?

You need to be on WSS 3.0 to install Search Server 2008 Express.

Ensure the two products you have installed are:

• WSS 3.0
• Search Server 2008 Express

Let me know the WSS version, the OS you are installing to etc?
