Cannot Install Workstation Components - Missing Management Studio

Hello,

I have installed SQL Server 2K5 Developer Edition x64, when viewing the option under Start -> All Programs -> Microsoft SQL Server 2005, I do not have the option for Management Studio.

When I attempt to install workstation components I get a message claiming the components I am attempting to install are already installed on the machine and the install will not let me continue.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Further details, I installed SQL Server after .Net 2K5.

Once I removed all SQL Server components, then re-installed SQL Server 2K5 all appropriate tools were present.

While installing , to get tools, you need to select Workstation components from the same window where you sleect Services. If the services are already installed, then go to Control Pannel -- Add/Remove Prorgamm -- Sql server -- Change/Remove -- choose Change and select the Workstation components. It will install only Components. If you are not installed any services, then Install the services and worksation components ...

Thanks Madhu,

I resolved the issue prior to you posting by removing SQL Server and SQL Express (installed via .Net 2005 Install). Upon re-installing SQL Server 2005 Dev I was able to access SSMS. I will keep this in mind if I experience this behavior again Smile

Thanks again,
