if you've installed, it must be there or else it's not installed i believe.
How did you get the installation file(downloaded from microsoft's site? can u share the link from where u downloaded?) or did you just install sql server management studio?

I first installed SQL 2005 Express, then .NET Framework, and then the Management Studio. All from the Microsoft site.
Maybe I should uninstall them. And then start over.
I have SQL Server 2005 Developers edition on my desktop that I can access through LogMeIn from my laptop. Can I connect to that SQL from here? And not deal with the express edition?

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=B448B0D0-EE79-48F6-B50A-7C4F028C2E3D&displaylang=en you can download express edition with advanced services which include ssms.
Also, you need to install .NET framework prior to installing 2005 express. If services are not present, sql server has not been installed/or not installed properly. You can continue to unistall and reinstall in correct sequence.
And yes, if you are able to connect to your desktop, you should be able to connect to the sql server from the existing ssms installed on ur laptop. Type the desktop's name and then try to connect. create a login on the dev edition and use that login to connect.
