Is it important that Visual Studio 2008 considers this the wrong edition?

Question

I installed Visual Studio 2008 Standard Edition a month ago after reformatting (on Vista64, if that matters). I got it for free from one of the Heroes Happen Here launch events.

Then I installed SQL Server 2008 Express Edition a week ago (we should get this for free by mail, but I gave up - too soon, "apparently).

Before I installed SQL Server 2008 Express, when I started Visual Studio 2008, the splash screen will read "Visual Studio 2008 Standard Edition." Now he says "Visual Studio 2008 Shell ."

I believe that for some reason, the VS2008 skeleton, which comes with SQL2008 Express, stepped on the VS2008 skeleton, which I already had there. I know that if you install SQL2005 on a machine without VS2005, you get a "shell" version of VS2005 without installed languages ​​(no C #, VB.NET, etc.).

I believe that this does not matter much, because in the worst case, some registry setting is somewhere wrong, and the splash screen just gets confused. But right? Or is it something that will bite me later, when VS2008 for some reason refuses me some function?

My experience with this on multiple machines is that there is nothing to worry about. If you look at the screen in Visual Studio, it should tell you all the right information. If you start it with the start command using "devenv / splash", you will most likely see the correct splash information. If you want the correct splash screen to display each time, edit the Visual Studio 2008 shortcut and clear the value from the Start In directory.
