No, since all Express versions share the same file extensions and all versions
can be installed in parallel, there is a so called 'Microsoft Visual Studio
Version Selector'.
After looking in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT I found this Shell\Open\command:
"%COMMONPROGRAMFILES%\Microsoft Shared\MSEnv\VSLauncher.exe" "%1"

I don't think this is the right one. Maybe the build script needs
%PROGRAMFILES%\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\VCExpress.exe?

This is located at "%VS80COMNTOOLS%vsvars32.bat", which is already used in the
build script.
