    What is the difference between these editions: 2008 R2 Express and 2008 R2 RTM?

    One is an edition, one is a version.

    SQL 2008 R2 RTM means 'release to manufacturing', it means SQL 2008 R2 (any edition) with no service packs.

    SQL 2008 R2 Express is the free, limited edition of SQL Server

    I want to download SQL Server 2008 Express R2 with Advanced Services. Where I can find the .iso for this edition?

    I haven't seen an iso, but it's available as an exe (or zip maybe) from the Microsoft site. A google or bing search will find it easily.
