When i run this initial setup of CPCONFIG i am presented with the options Checkpoint enterprise pro and Checkpoint express CI. as my license is for Checkpoint express would i be right in thinking that it is the express i need to install? If this is the case, will i still be prompted to decide between if i want it to act as a standalone or distributed server.
You don't need an HA license to run VRRP on IPSO. It's a function of IPSO, you will just need a firewall license for both appliances.

I'm presuming that you ment 4.0 build 41.

In all of my past installations, every time I pick anything with express, it installs it as a standalone (management and firewall on one) which is not what you want in a VRRP cluster. I would install the pro, I think you can still put the express license on it.
