RE: Installation problems

Hi, Herb,
Since Wei is on Chinese New Year vacation, I would like to work with you on
your issue.

I looked through your conversations and I found that you would like to
install SQL Server Management Studio ( SSMS ) and SQL Server Books Online (
BOL ) only for SQL Server Express at first.
If you just want to install the two components, you can directly download
them from MSDN site:
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=C243A5AE-4BD1-4E3D-
94B8-5A0F62BF7796&displaylang=en
SQL Server 2005 Books Online (July 2006)
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=BE6A2C5D-00DF-4220-
B133-29C1E0B6585F&displaylang=en

For why the Client Tools were not installed from your SQL Server 2005
Developer Edition Setup CD, could you please mail me
(changliw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx) a copy of the logs?
I think that the tools might have been installed on your computer just not
appeared in the Start menu.
Now, I have not made sure if this is related to product ID, but I have a
question:
Did you fully install a new SQL Server instance or just Client Tools from
SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition?

I am afraid that you may need to perform another try of installation if
there is no clue from the error log.
Now, I would like to add the following information for your reference:
1. Ensure that your SQL Server 2005 instance (not SQL Express) has been
installed on your computer Try manually installing the Client Tools from
command prompt:
Start /wait <CD or DVD Drive>\servers\setup.exe /qb
INSTANCENAME=<InstanceName>
ADDLOCAL=SQL_DTS,Client_Components,Connectivity,SQL_Tools90,SQL_WarehouseDev
Workbench,SQLXML,Tools_Legacy,SQL_Documentation,SQL_BooksOnline
PIDKEY=<pidkey value with no "-"> SAPWD=<StrongPassword>
( ref: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms144259.aspx )

2. After the installation, if SSMS is still not displayed in the SQL Server
2005 group of Start menu, please check if SqlWb.exe ( SSMS ) exists in the
directory "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\90\Tools\Binn\VSShell\Common7\IDE\".

Hope this helps. If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel
free to let me know.

Best regards,
Charles Wang
