It looks like it is possible to use StyleCop with Express edition. Here is how.

Are you using one of the Visual Studio Express products? If so, you will not see UI integration of StyleCop since the VS Express edition does not support integration of add-ins and packages like StyleCop.

If you are using Express, you could still run StyleCop, but this will require using either MSBuild integration or a pre- or post- build event.
