RE: How can I install SQL Server Managment Studio (2005)?

Hi David,
From your description, I understand that you could not install SQL Server Management Studio on your computer.
If I have misunderstood, please let me know.

Did you choose "Management Toos" in the Advanced option during your setup process?

Anyway I recommend that you try adding the component with the following steps:
1. Click Start->Run..., input appwiz.cpl and click OK;
2. Locate Microsoft SQL Server 2005, click Change, check "Workstation Components" and click Next;
3. Follow the setup wizard until "Change or Remove Instance" window appear, then click the button "Change Installed Components", click Client components and click "Entire feature will be
installed on local hard drive"; and then follow the process to finish the setup.

If this issue persists, I recommend that you send me (changliw_at_microsoft_dot_com) the setup logs for further research. They are located in the folder C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\90\Setup Bootstrap\LOG.

If there is anything unclear, please feel free to let me know. Look forward to your response.

Best regards,
Charles Wang
