Missing SQL Server Management Studio

Hi,

I am a novice at SQl Server, so apologise in advance if you think this is a really stupid question.

I have a windows XP laptop with Visual Studio 2005. I installed SQl Server 2005 Developer Edition but do not see the SQl Server Management Studio anywhere. The only thing in Programs/ SQL Server 2005 is SQL Server Configuration Manager. I then uninstalled it & installed SQL Server Express but encountered the same issue.

I would like to install the Developer Edition if possible. I have tried uninstalling & reinstalling a few times but it does not work.

Could someone please help in resolving this. Appreciate it!

SQL Server 2005 Express does not include SQL Server Management Studio.

When you install SQL Server 2005 Developer, have you selected workstation components? If you do not include it, SQL Server 2005 Management Studio cannot be installed automatically. Would you try again?

Thanks for a quick response.

I kept all the defaults. I will uninstall & install it again and reply back

Thanks again!

|||If you are still missing the management tools after your new attempt, when you post again, can you be sure to include the contents of the latest *_Core(Local).log file from %programfiles%\microsoft sql server\90\setup bootstrap\log\files? That could have the information pertinent as to why the feature is not getting installed.|||Thanks,Jiongxiong Chen ...
I ran the install again and it worked!!
Thanks a ton!
