I cannot install a database

When I attempt to install the database engine I get the message "A SQL Server
or MSDE database engine is already installed."
I have SQL Express 2005 installed, and I believe this is causing the message.
Can I configure SQL 2005 Express to work with Windows Embedded or is there
another method of installing the server for WinEmbed?
Thank you for any help you may provide.

Here are some steps for using SQL Express 2005:
