First I want to say that you probably no longer need to use this limited Visual Studio. There is an almost full free version called Visual Studio Community Edition. More details can be obtained in that question.

It is important if you want to install extensions on it. Express greatly limits what you can install.

If you are using WPF already have one Native ribbon and its use is recommended. You should already be able to use it directly without additional actions.

If you are using Windows Forms you can use one Open Source project available in Codeplex. Installation instructions. If you have any specific problem to install, we are available for a specific question.

There are other free options and paid, including from major providers of controls for . NET.

It is also possible to use Windows SDK which has a Ribbon for C++/MFC and access it. It is not so simple task so you do not know well how to do interoperability with unmanaged code but it is an alternative.
