I'm trying to configure cube building in a single project server 2007 instalation that includes SQL Server 2005 Express Edition. I think that version of SQL Server doesn't include the Analysis Services, so I can't configure cube building.
I've tried to install several service packs, followed all the guides and installed several featured tools, but the Analysis Services aren't available anyway.

Is it possible to configure cube building for the standalone version, or I have to install a separate SQL Server 2005 "full equipe" with a new license?

Thanks in advantage, and sorry for my english!
akae,

Welcome to the forum.

Unfortunately, SQL Server 2005 Express Edition does not include Analysis Services, which is required in order for you to set up cube building.

Microsoft has published a guide to upgrading here. Essentially, you should be able to do an in-place upgrade to Standard Edition, which would allow you to install SSAS.

Hope that helps!
