Problems Installing TXB...

Hi all,
I've just purchased Torque X Pro 2.0 and Torque X Builder and I'm having some trouble installing Builder. Whenever I run the install I get the;
"Torque X requires Visual C# 2005 Express Edition and
XNA Game Studio Express. Install the required
applications, and then relaunch setup."
I've checked around the forums and the only solutions to this problem were either to wait for an updated version that fixes the problem due out in a week or so (posted 2007) or install Visual C# Express along side (or instead of) Visual Studio 2005.
I'm running Vista Home on a brand new machine and have Visual C# 2005 Express Edition and XNA Game Studio 3.0. The only thing I can think of is if having Game Studio Express is different to 3.0 in a way that breaks the install. Torque X Pro 2.0 for XNA, Torque Constructor and Torque Game Builder have all installed without a problem.
If anyone could shed any light on this it would be much appreciated.

Torque X 2.0 requires XNA 2.0 and C#2005
Torque X 3.0 will require XNA 3.0 and C#2008
Just install XNA 2.0 alongside your XNA 3.0 install and you should be all set!

Yeah after I realized I had 2008 I did some more searching to see if that made a difference and sure enough, it does. I've installed C# 2005 and XNA 2.0 is installing as I type. Hopefully this'll sort it. On a side note, Microsoft don't make it easy to find older versions of software do they. Must have spent half an hour looking for 2005 and XNA 2. Next time I'm going straight to Google.
Thanks for the help.
