no. you can use a free sql express profiler which isn't made by MS.
search for SQL Server 2005 Express Profiler here:

It can be profiled if you are profiling from standard or enterprise edition.

hello, Thank you for the answer.

I am new to sql server and just started learning it. The book i am reading mentioned about sql profiler and i couldn't find it on my machine, so i asked this question. Can you please tell me how important is it for a beginner to learn about sql profiler. As a beginner i don't know, if i need to learn it now or later when i am more familiar with sql. i know basic t-sql.

The book just gives an introduction to sql profiler and what it does. Nothing in detail.
