Cannot create a new VS data connection in Server Explorer

I have a local instance of SQL Server 2008 express edition running on my development PC. I'm trying to create a new data connection through Visual Studio Server Explorer.

The steps are the following:

• Right click the "Data Connections" node => Choose Data Source.
• I select "Microsoft SQL Server" as the data source.
• The "Add Connection" dialog window appears. I select my local server instance => "Test connection" works fine.
• I select "AdventureWorks" as the database name => "Test connection" works fine.
• Next I hit the "Ok" button => Error message: "This server version is not supported. Only servers up to MS SQL Server 2005 are supported."

I'm using Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition. The target framework of the applicatio开发者_运维百科n is ".NET framework 3.5". I have a reference to System.Data (framework v2.0) and cannot find another version of the assembly on my system.

Am I referencing the wrong assembly? How can I fix this problem?

I hadn't thought of googling the error message to try and find a fix to this problem. It turns out it can easily be fixed by installing SP1 for SQL Server 2008.
