Hi,
I installed sql server 2005 Database engine, Integration Services, Analysis services on a Vista machine. I selected Windows authentication.
After installing, i checked for the instances under services and programs (control panel). I see that sql server is running as a service and it is enabled and started.
But when i click start --> Programs --> Sql Server 2005 i only see configuration tools.
I am not able to connect to SSMS. When i type sqlwb in the command prompt, it says windows cannot find sqlwb.
Again in the surface area configuration i see the list of instances installed.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thankyou.

First, let's verify what version of SQL Server you installed. Should be either Developer or Express - and if it is the Express version then you will need to download and install SSMSE (SQL Server Management Studio Express).
If this is the Developer Edition - then you must not have installed the client tools. To add the client tools, go to Add/Remove and select Change on SQL Server 2005. You will then be prompted to add/modify/remove installed components. From here, you should be able to select the client tools (Shared Components) and install them.
