Hi all!

I have installed a MSSQL 2008 R2 express without any problems.
Step two was to install the manager.
I get the above failure, even after having restarted pc etc.
Reason could be, that i have the download for manegement studio express for 2008.
On this page:

http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=22985

There is no 'Continue' for the 32 bit version, which i should use.
Reason could be, that i should use the R2 manager, and question is then - Where to get it.
Else:

Good ideas to get through the page, where i select the installed instance?

Best regards

Edvard Korsbæk
