    Check the System requirements guide to see what AX 2009 version could go with which SQL Server instance:

    www.microsoft.com/.../details.aspx

    Neither your SQL version, nor the edition are supported. You must have SQL Server 2005 Standard edition with Service Pack 2, or above at least. The free express edition is not supported.
