Note, that installing Silverlight Tools RC0 on a machine with VWD Express SP1 ENU and VS 2008 SP1 non-ENU will allow Silverlight 2 development on VWD Express SP1 ENU only.  Neither Silverlight 2 Beta 2 nor Silverlight 2 RC development will be possible on VS2008 SP1 non-ENU until the final version of Silverlight Tools is released for the language specific Visual Studio version installed.
