Its not a bug. The solution file is for Visual Studio. 

You can edit the .sln and csproj files using Notepad to edit the headers to 
revert it
back to compatible with Express. Just make a empty .sln and .csproj file and 
look at
the contents and copy/paste it over the Visual Studio parts of the downloaded 
.sln
and .csproj files.

The contents of the CSproj file for incremental.kick.web.ui are huge, (841 
lines) vs 
74 for a blank one.
I'm affraid that I would ruin something while updating the file.
It would be awesome it would be awesome if you can be a little bit more 
detailed.
Your help is much appreciated
Thanks

I've done this before (a while ago, not with this project), but can't remember 
the
exact steps. There's only a couple items that need to be replaced - mostly the
version number of the product the files are associated with. I think it should 
be in
the top few lines.

If I get time tomorrow, I'll try to write up a post about it. In the meantime, I
think there's some freeware converters that can convert sln and csproj files 
between
VS and VS Express try looking around for one of those.

Should we go NAnt?

Here's the solution. It just requires you to edit 2 lines of the .sln file and 
break
out the web project so that VS Web Developer Express can be used for that.
