In Windows 7 I just installed Sql Server Management Studio Express 2008. I can successfully connect to the default instance using Windows Authentication. After connecting, when I right click on the "Databases" node a context menu appears. If I select the "Attach" menu item I immediately get an error (btw the error is shown before the Attach dialog appears).
The error I get is "Cannot show requested dialog. Parameter name: nColIndex. Actual value was -1. (Microsoft.SqlServer.GridControl)
I have tried running SSMS as administrator and that didn't work. I have tried lowering the User Account Control to off and that also didn't work.
What should I try next?
Again, thank you for your time.

According Microsoft this was a bug, but was fixed in the RTM release. You might want to verify you downloaded the current release for SQL 2008 Express.
If you have a current install of it, try also applying SP1 for SQL Server 2008.
