While installing the trial of SQL Server 2008 will get you the full Management Studio and Business Development Studio (or whatever it is called in 2008, and is required for developing SSIS solutions), SQL Server Express does not have the SSIS service. You have to have at least one full SQL Server 2008 server somewhere to have an SSIS service. You might consider purchasing SQL Server 2008 Developer Edition (which should be about $50) which is essentially a fully functioning version of SQL Server 2008 Enterprise with the licensing restriction that it only be used for development and not production.
