+*ExpressProfiler* (aka *SqlExpress Profiler*) is a simple and fast replacement for SQL Server Profiler with basic GUI and integration with Red Gate Ecosystem project.
+
+Can be used with both Express and non-Express editions of SQL Server 2005/2008/2008r2/2012/2014 (including LocalDB)
+Distribution package contains both standalone version of ExpressProfiler (can be used without installation) and installation package.
+
+*Breaking news!* ExpressProfiler is now part of Red Gate ecosystem project ([url:http://documentation.red-gate.com/display/MA/SSMS+ecosystem+project])! (framework is not included in installation package and should be downloaded and installed manually).

+Both standalone ExpressProfiler application and Ecosystem installer are digitally signed.
