Re: Unable to open SQL Server Management Studio Express CTP

Unfortunately, your link points to the exact file that was released on Nov.
7 - apparently.
The file that your link points to is the exact same size and has the same
digital signiture date as the original.
Installing the file from your link does the same thing as the original msi
file - even after following your instructions "To update Management Studio
Express CTP"

Does anyone have an updated link to the updated CTP? Can someone provide
info on the stats of the updated msi (such as file size and date) so that we
can be sure we have the newest msi?

Thanks in advance.
