Installing Full Text Search on SQL Server 2008 R2 Express

Question

I can't for the life of me install full text search on my SQL Server 2008 R2 instance.

Every installer I have tried shows me this:

Feature selection only shows Replication under features

I've tried:

Any ideas what i'm doing wrong?

The SQL Server is reporting a version of 10.52.4000.0

Thanks in advance,

Dave

If you want to use Full text search, you need the 'Advanced Services' edition of SQL Server Express 2008, which can be obtained at Microsoft

However, you need to uninstall the current version first.
